DeeCee Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Do theatres near you show things other then movies? Theatres here often show things like sporting events, opera or coming up soon Doctor Who. http://www.eventcinemas.com.au/movie/3D-Dr-Whos-50Th-Anniversary-Episode Have you been to one?

DeeCee Posted October 22, 2013 Author Share Posted October 22, 2013 Does having sex count as entertainment? Only if a camera in the theatre is showing it on the screen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolioD1 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 My local shows lots of live broadcastings of plays, operas and ballets and the like. In fact I just checked and a performance of The Nutcracker that's going to be shown there in mid-December is already sold out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't really appeal to me much. Good idea to make Extra Dosh though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good idea to make Extra Dosh though. With the change from film to digital it's also so much easier these days. I wouldn't be surprised if HBO, AMC etc have special screenings of popular shows in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
