My primary theater is a local nonprofit, running carefully curated art-house stuff, both new and old, with some popular classics putting butts in seats to help fund the more exotic fare. A couple of weeks ago, I got to see my two favorite Coen brothers films on big screen that way. We also have an outstanding second-run within walking distance of our house - a 1950s-built theater that has been meticulously maintained and never cut up, so it has comfy seats, great sound, and a gigantic screen. It fills up in the evenings, mostly neighborhood people walking there, so it has a community feel. There are other variations of "art house theater" in town too, all doing pretty well. They're not the ones suffering. It's the chain theaters at the mall that are suffering. Sure, I live in hipster paradise (aka Minneapolis), but you can find similar facilities at many other cities.
