LOL. The old days: One giant 1500 seat single screen theatre, four showtimes. Now-a-days: Cookie cutter small auditoriums and screens within the space of the giant 1500 seat single screen, and a showtime for your movie starting every half hour.  |  IP: Logged Scott D.

I wonder in how many cases theatre owners got 16-plexes approved based on thinning out the crowds to ease the parking and traffic?  |  IP: Logged
