RobinHood26 Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 I want a theater like this my town.Living in So Cal spoils you. I have 19 movie theaters within 10 miles of me. And 3 Imax screens. It makes me sad to hear some people have to drive hours just to see a movie on a proper screen, especially my fellow movie nerds. I wish I could rent out the Imax screen and fly all of the fourms out to watch a movie. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I win the lottery, I'll build a huge theater in my hometown (built to my super-nerdy specifications) and hold a lottery on here for who I'll fly out to the opening night.

I would love to create my own theater It would have 30 screens. Imax real screen 100 feet high and 125 feet wide 700 seats Three 4K digital theater 55 feet high and 85 feet wide 500 seats The rest of the screens would be 35 feet high and 75 feet wide 300 seats A full bar and restaurant. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My idea for building my own theatre is much more modest. 8 screens One 4K screen with 350 seats around 30/40ft tall At minimum 150 seats in all other screens barring one luxury screen with 30 Absolutely no charging for 3D Either a classic movie or a limited release done for one day only every two or 4 weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where I live in the UK the biggest cinema within a 30 mile radius has just 6 screens, so doing 8 seems logical to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommycruise Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 The Regal Landing which has a nice 14 screens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MovieGuyKyle17 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 In the summer I sometimes go to our local Drive In theater. It has 2 screens, only cost 8 bucks per person. Its a nice little place to catch a summer film. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MovieGuyKyle17 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 (edited) This is technically the closest movie theater to me but for the past year its been in a identity crisis. This is a really old theater, they just made some upgrades to it in the past few years. For the past year it went from a second run theater to first run theater and now its back to a second run theater. The prices are really reasonable, only cost 5.25 for movie ticket. Its my choice to go see a movie if the movie is getting bad of word of mouth. Edited July 17, 2013 by Scott Pilgrim vs The Forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kvikk Lunsj Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 That seems high for a second run theater. The first theater I post that I go to is $5 manatee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know but it just reopened tomorrow, 5 bucks is still half the price of the first run theater Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love how my local theater is an 18 screen and it is $7 at night and $5 during matinee. Plus they have a huge 4k screen 80 feet wide and 3 stories tall and theater is $9.

The Heights which is the one I just posted is the only other theater in the county but its only 1 screen, and played the same movie for 2 weeks straight during its first run status and it only went up to 8 bucks. With the new ownership the price is down to 5 bucks and went back to second run theater.

mrmrscott Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 This is the cinema I normally go to in Ipswich, UK 11 screens, including 1 IMAX screen (installed just in time for Skyfall last year) I pay £15 a month for an unlimited amount of films, so price is pretty good for me as I defiantly get my money's worth Plus there is a Nando's right near which is good!

SchumacherFTW Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 A lot of the bigger Cineworld's seem to share that kind of look. Crawley definitely share's that look, and I think the Sheffield one does as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
