Great post above…what is the “attached” where he says “see attached…”? Has anyone actually put together a business plan for getting their theater up and running? If you have, did you use a template or guideline? Also…it seems, from what I’ve found, is that all we have to do (as stated by Michael D'Onofrio above) in terms of licensing is get a distributor or broker. They do have a pretty good list on the www.bigscreenbiz.com site.
I also think that Eski has a great idea…I am so glad that I found this site. I have been reading, with great interest, all of your post. I would like to ask the “old hand” WGTRay, what his experience is in the business and if he could share some info on licensing, etc. if he is so inclined. Thanks.
I too am putting together a business plan for opening a small movie theater and have also hit the same roadblocks that I read about above. I also found the swank.com site and emailed them and got no response. I cannot really go further until I can determine if the licensing fees will kill any profit potential. If anyone finds anything on movie licensing, please post as I’m sure that we would all be greatful.
Tryon Theatre was located at 72 E Main St. according to the 1959 Manning’s Amsterdam Directory.
How many are still left?
where are these located? and are there any left?
