I am A student at Barruch. I am currently building a hypothetical business plan with a class group for a 21+ movie theater showing both old and new movies. This concept was my own and I plan to use the business plan in the future but am using the class to get many of the logistics and necessary preparations out of the way. a few questions….
1) is 40'x 50' an acceptable size for a single auditorium ? just one of the theater’s I mean, I plan on having three to four.
2) what would the minimum height be in a space?
3) are there any specific ways I could organize the theater’s (in relation to one another) that would be more effective? for example, one projector room for three theater’s, caddy cornered almost, or could I put them back to back to save on sound proofing?
4) am I going to run into any licensing conflicts when trying to serve alcohol and display movies inside of the establishment? (aside from underage drinkers)
