AB Films Budget
FY2015 (July 1, 2014 - June 30, 2015)

There are 4 nights a week in which AB Films provides events - Thursday (which plays independent/foreign films), Friday (which plays box office hits), Saturday (which works with Saturday Late Night groups to show films or plays classic films on days without events), and Sunday (which plays cult/horror films).
