Yes, your right “in Today’s motion picture world we would never Survive”.Seems like we did okay when I was working in one. For one thing in those days going to movies was still an event,it was fading somwwhat.but today it is like walking into a Bus Stop in Anytown,U.S.A.

1967 “BONNIE and CLYDE” wonder if it was first run or hit the drive-in first.I heard in some parts it was booked right into Drive-ins then Caught Fire and it in the indoor Theatres,this from an old Prpjectionist that said it happened to him.

The newer marquee Chuck put on looks a lot better than what they were trying to do in the Eighties.

Yes, schmadrian you are correct. I think one-sheets are lousier today,also.Smaller Too,Some newer ones I have won’t fit in my one-sheet frames.

I agree AlAlvarez.your statement pretty much sums it up.“MEDIUM COOL” is remember was an X-rated flick,that might have limited its BO.

Strange looking Cinema.

Mike Rogers commented about 3rd Street Theatre on Mar 3, 2011 at 7:12 pm

Back in those days in the seventies,we never asked anyone to leave.95% did,but if you wanted to watch it again at ABC and Plitt we never said a word,When I moved to GCC the intermission Breaks were usually longer than ABC/Plitt that just about everyone left.But even then I can’t recall asking a moviegoer to Move on.I really don’t know what they would do today if you decided to watch it again. Any Answers?
