Alamo is a chain, but it's privately-held. Doesn't that make it indie? Just a large "indie." Reminds me of the SubPop music label, which is considered "independent" despite being quite famous and large. If not, I guess I don't know what indie means. One location? If they open a second, is it a big boring corporation now? >These theaters can also show new independent or international films that might not get a showing in major theaters Alamo does this! I saw Teen Witch a few years ago at an Alamo Draft House, of all things. Not exactly something getting shown on major theaters nowadays :) There are probably better examples but I'm far from a cinephile (I certainly wouldn't know about new international or independent releases regardless).
