Five years later did another nine months at the same theater.  |  IP: Logged Ian Price Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1714 From: Denver, CO Registered: Jun 99 posted 07-23-2003 01:54 PM                     37 Cape Cinema 1 Vogue 1 Ogden 1 Esquire 2 Nugget 1 Thornton Town Center 10 Strand 1 Masons 1 Minnie 1 Greenwood Plaza 12 Galaxy 1 Rialto 5  |  IP: Logged Richard C. Wolfe Master Film Handler Posts: 250 From: Northampton, PA, USA Registered: Apr 2000 posted 07-23-2003 11:45 PM                        Most of the theatres in this list I have owned, so I didn't work in all of them on a day to day basis, but naturally was at all of them several times a week. At one of the theatres, the one I still have, I was the house manager myself and was there 3 or 4 days a week when I had those other theatres. During the past 15 to 20 years while I only had a couple of other theatres I would be here 5 or 6 days a week. For the past 7 years that I have had only this one theatre I am here 7 days a week. I have kept my office here in this theatre and have personally managed it for the past 33 years. The list: 11 single indoors 6 single drive-ins 3 twin indoors Total screen count = 23, but the actual total of different theatre locations = 20  |  IP: Logged Duncan Smith Film Handler Posts: 50 From: England Registered: Jan 2003 posted 07-24-2003 03:22 PM                     1 x twin 2x 8 plex 1x triple 1x twin. I guess that's 23 in total. Longest residency is about 3 years at the 8 plex's. Wot a larf! Looking for a single now, in preview I reckon.
