quote: Lyle Romer
If I could build a theatre across the street from a Regal and was allowed to play day and date, I could create a quality location. Initially, I would take customers from Regal. They would be forced to come up to (or exceed) my standards. Otherwise, they'd have to close the location.

Or, you'd take customers from them and they'd now be unprofitable, but unless they went out of business, you'd be unprofitable as well. And while you personally might create a quality location, another competitor might create a location that was as bad or worse than the Regal.
