The time has come in this country were old is a curse big is the best and time marches on.No heritage no sense of pride or care for tradition.So few places matter or our significant to the average person.No sense of loyalty to or for something that matters.Greed ,self concern ,the dollar….Welcome 2009!
I would like to build a 25,000 sq ft theater (6 screens) and i can never get a clear number on that as well….Even a ball park a range ……something to start with………….
Tom why have you not leased your theater to some new operator?This way you would still control the building. Maybe there is someone out there that would have freesh ideas on how to make a go at it.The theater I purchased was written off for dead.We now have an 98 % increase in attendance in our 1 st year.
Must be some important people at the SENATOR as the news thread has been removed from CINEMA TREASURES home page.33 COMENTS AND 389 VIEWS HAVE GONE ON SUNDAY …………………
Any who …….I feel this way about many non-profits…I do not care to pick on the Senator.To many scams ….This is a time when this is part of our culture.No more free market- the only thing worse than non profit would be the city buying it.
Any way we are way to busy at the theater to keep this up for the holidays.Best to all for a HAPPY HOLIDAY!
I would more than be happy to take a look at the Senator for a sale or lease if it were up for sale.But someone wants to hold on and on..I have donated to this cause so i know of what i speak.Perhaps the bank will take it back an a new operator will have better luck.
Well said Roxy.I have a 3 screen that often out grosses a 12 and 8 and an 8 in our zone..With the product this theater gets i cant see how the theater cant show a profit.Friends of mine go there all the time and tell me they often have very big croweds.
Non profit is often a way for a poor operator to make money.They stay on as GM & or booker for a nice salery.People donate ,NEW tax breaks AND all of a sudden there a hero for saving the theater and making a NICE FAT PAYCHECK….
There is some of that ..But there has been a trend the last 3 years of people going back to the movies.Like every bsns we are on a cycle.
Jim was a great guy ….I now own my own theater and it is in a big way because Jim gave me the chance when i was 18 years old…
Any news on this???????

The theater needs to go up for sale in order for there to be a bid. Howard ARE YOU MY BOOKER FRIEND??? Strange you know my seat count….
Theater should go up for sale or lease……
WHEN YOUR LOOSING MONEY IN A PRIVATE BSNS AND ASKING FOR DONATIONS YOU DO NOT GET A PAYCHECK OF ANY KIND..
If a theater gets a bail-out the old owners should not be allowed to take a salery under the word non -profit……………..
WITHIN 20 MILES I HAVE — A Regal 18 ,Regal 16,Regal 12,Regal 16,Cinamark 8 & Carmike 8 and our 3 screen.Thats 81 screens!

Nonprofits do save many historic theaters there is know doubt.That issue has nothing to do with my point.

God i hate when they go non profit..How about put the theater up for sale ……………….
