I OWN The Theater, BITCH...:)

[The_Return]

This should be fun...:D

Ok, Id have a HUGE arcade as soon as you walk in the door. It'd have any and all types of arcade games, from classics [Smash TV], to more modern stuff [All the Mortal Kombats]. From there, you'd enter the lobby. Concession stands would include all the basic items [Popcorn, Pop, Candy, Hotdogs, Nachos] plus many other deleciables, such as various deserts, and entres such as pizza and pasta, incase you want dinner and a movie and dont want to go 2 different places.. Now on to the movies....

19 Screens. 6 would be reserved for Horror movies of all sorts, but primarily those that have changed the genre, wether It was for the better or worse [TCM, NotLD, Scream]. 6 more would be the movies currently making money at the box office. Another 6 for classics of other genres, leaving 1 screen. This screen would be a special treat for the viewer. They would have no way of knowing what movie would be showing. They'd buy a ticket for slightly less than regular cost, and see a movie specificly selected by myself. They would include my personal favourites from all genres, however horror would be the most prominent.

That was fun!

oddly enough, there's a really good sushi bar accross the street from the Landmark Tivoli (local arthouse type theater) over here

I would show ONLY horror movies...

I would have 10 screens...On 3 screens I would show classics, from old Hammer Films, to the Original Night Of The Living Dead, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Friday The Thirteenths, Nightmare On Elm Streets, May, Dog Soldiers and everything in between

On 3 screens I would show movies that people might have just missed that past year, all the way up to the week before...I just missed The Village, dammit:mad:

On the other 4 screens, I would show all of the currently running Horror movies

I would charge $5 for ALL tickets...Adults and Kids...That would keep it simple

I would NOT gouge the hell out of people for popcorn, candy and soft drinks...Have you any idea how fucking cheap popcorn actually IS?!...It should NOT cost $50 for 2 adults and 2 kids (average family) to go see ONE damned movie!...I swear, it's fucking ridiculous...OH, and I would have a pizza parlor INSIDE the lobby....Beat THAT!:cool: :D

i'd let kids i knew for sure came from poor famlies in for free, that way the ywouldn't feel left out, when their friends whos parents have more money went to the movies

A Horror only theater is a great idea! That would be my kind of theater. :D I'd probably wanna show comedies too though...I like horror & comedy. I'd probably just show whatever sounded good to me, no matter what genre it was. :p I'd get all the horror & suspense/thrillers though. And I'd charge about $3 or $4...and maybe have special nights on occasion where people only had to pay $1 or $2 per ticket. And I'd also cut back on the price of food...it's ridiculous. Me, my mom & dad sneak in M&M's and water or pop & things like that sometimes, because we refuse to pay the theater's prices. :o

I would keep it to myself and only play the best of movies that came out. No crap. And then i would everybodys face that tried to come in. And eat popcorn and makeout with women all day.

BEAT THAT!

I'm bumping this old thread so that some of you guys who weren't around then could share YOUR ideas on this, too

[filmmaker2]

Well MY theatre would have CONCEPTIONS, how about that. How cool is THAT.

My theatre would also have seven or eight cute little kitties allowed to roam free. There would be bowls of cat food here and there, and there would be a special kitty poo poo area. How cool is THAT!!

And the people selling the popcorn would be violent and they will throw you inside the popcorn machine if you complain about the prices. But those will be reasonable. $1.25 for a drink, $2.00 for popcorn, $2.00 for a candy bar. Very reasonable and most of the money will go into film rentals, so the more crap food you buy, the more movies we rent. Everyone wins.

I would try to have a screening room for each decade, so there would be at least ten rooms.

Tickets would be sold by robots.

I don't want a theater, just a tv station, and I would show only horror movies and sci fi.

If I owned my own theatre, I wouldn't have to do anything to it, b/c I would just buy one of the locals.

It has a flat floor with tables and chairs and they have waitresses who roller skate around to the tables and take food and beverage orders. They also have alcohol, which makes the old horror movies which everyone has seen even more fun.
The movies they show are the only thing I would change. While they show lots of matinees (complete with gimmicks!) and old cult favorites, they show mostly films that are in that dollar-movie limbo between the theatre and video release.

It's only one screen, but I would only show stuff I liked; nothing too serious b/c it gets kinda loud in there sometimes and I'm too uptight to be able to take a bunch of drunks being loud during my favorite dramas or horror flicks. Basically I would show the stuff I love but that I don't take too seriously.
