Sounds interesting. Tried to find the article on their web site, however only the current edition comes up.
Ironic how EW thinks the way to fix movie theatres is to make them less movie theatres and more gathering places that happen to also show movies.
clueless
EW is also owned by Time Warner, which owns a studio that owns a joint venture with Viacom’s studio’s Mann Theatres. Pretty Ironic, indeed.
Ironic my @$$! That joint venture is down to 7 friggin theatres! If you cluster (the all but abandoned) Grauman’s Chinese and Mann’s Chinese 6, that makes 6 theatrs that the once mighty Mann operates. Aside from movie premieres, Mann Theatres has no weight in the theatrical exhibition world anymore. None. Nada. Zip.
