The best bet is to call the folks at Movie Licensing USA. They're our partner in the Family Movine Night program and are real good to work with.
Crux of the question is what kind of license your school has. If school has annual, whole-school license, then you should be OK. If a one-time license was purchased.....
we just did a movie night for the month of October and made close to $300 profit. we showed the movie Monster House (the day it came out on DVD) and we sold Nachos, popcorn, juice boxes, pop and blow pops as well as air heads.we basically ran out of Nachos so next time we will now know we need more cheese. We are thinking of showing Ant Bully for the Month of november. Again on the day it is released because the children at our school really do not have good home lives so we know this is a good turn out because the parents don't want to be bothered (not all of them are like this)

A question about the license: if our school has paid the fee already (in order to show movies in classrooms, assemblies, etc.) are we covered under that fee if we show the movie on school property?
We showed "Sky High" last year and it was a good choice--no bad words or anything. We also found out that Movie Night appeals to the younger grades. We are having a Christmas Movie Night and are going to show "The Santa Clause 2", which is rated G. I think we're going to decorate Christmas cookies before the movie.
