That's what I thought. And we used to think 6 screens was enough. We're just twin screen guys in a 30-plex mega-chain world...isn't life cruel? I loved my twins, I did everything for them. I even cleaned them. And you know what makes it even worse...I really don't watch that many movies. In fact, I don't like a lot of them, I just have to be careful when a customer asks for my opinion (unless it's something I really did like). I still have to be "salesman".
My love in life for the last ten years has been listening and watching film run through the projector. And Phill says he has no life, Hah! In fact, most movies I've seen in the theatres I've run have been no more than an excuse to do this. Aren't I sick? There have been some exceptions like Gladiator...ohh, I could watch that at least ten more times. That film has soo much....well... gravity. [Cool]
Well...I've done made this too long, great discussion, you take care now!

With six screens, we did about $13,000. I can't quite remember total attendance. We had Fockers on two screens, Lemony Snickets, Fat Albert, Spanglish, Polar Express (afternoon only), and Nation Treasure (evening only). This was much better than the previous couple of year when the weather was very bad. Albert and Spanglish were by far the slowest that day. Fockers, Snickers, and Polar Express were at the top.
