There are still MANY singles and even twins still open and running. I work for a recently re-opened twin, and previously worked in the twin for some years before it was closed/remodled/re-opened. If you can manage a small theatre corectly, (this includes keeping a tight inventory, keeping a good reputation with customers, keeping prices on tickets and concessions reasonable and still make profit) then a single screen or a twin can be a little gold mine. I have been in the theatre business my entire life, and if someone where to open a small theatre, I would suggest that you have AT LEAST 2 screens, better yet 3…4 at the most for a small theatre. All in all, the small theatres can make it just as the larger ones. Ive seen this one im around running strong (aside from a re-model) for almost 40 years.
