I like hearing about your pre-"upgrade" local theater. We had one like that around here even eight years ago that did second-run screenings in addition to loads of foreign films or rescreenings of films from decades ago. Great experience, super cheap. Unfortunately there was basically a hostile takeover of it by a guy who bought into the big seat vision.
- WorldMaker 3y agoA common alternative to the "upgraded" is the sad "closed". My city lost its well-loved second run theater of several decades somewhat recently. At least in our case we're somewhat lucky that the owners of that continue to invest in our only non-chain first run theater, and while it has some of the "big seat" upgrades it still tries to do some of the foreign films and indies and big "midnight" rescreenings of classics. (And is still cheaper than the big box, big chain options.)
