HOW to SAVE Movie Theaters

  • As a successful owner of a small one-screen theater, I've noticed the recent bankruptcies of large cineplex theaters. It seems like they've lost sight of what makes movie-going special. But I believe that there is a way for these theaters to bounce back. In this video, I share my insights on how theaters can reconnect with their audiences and stay relevant in an ever-changing entertainment landscape.

    Small theaters rock! I used to work at the Rosebud and Times Cinema in Milwaukee. It's where I met my good friend Matt who now runs the Towne Cinema in Watertown -- which is who I found this video through! Best of luck with the theater, I hope I can visit sometime in the near future.

    Another great episode, I’m glad you brought up these topics and I’m very happy you only show 3 trailers before the movie. Im sure your customers enjoy coming out to your theater each time, especially when you offer free popcorn at the end of the night and ask about the movie, that common courtesy goes a long way 👍

    Wow! just watched this. So relevant. The little rural theatres here in New Zealand have survived. The big multiplexes are still doing great business though. Your Theatre reminds me of the little one in Kerikeri, which is going strong and screens 3 or 4 different films each week including Art House films. It was used historically as a dance hall and picture theatre when it was first built and still retains the charm. Go you, and your gorgeous family.

    Loved your videos. I've just started a carnivore diet and you give a lot of good information on how a carnivore diet can help restore good health and what you eat on a carnivore diet.. I've just had a Lupus diagnosis and I'm in my 70s so it gives me hope. I know drugs are not going to help. Keep what youre doing. Regards Australia.

    THE BEAUTIFUL HISTORIC THEATRE IN NORWALK OHIO IS NEGLECTED AND THEY JUST TOOK THE LIGHTED SIGNS DOWN RECENTLY. SOMEONE TRIED TO BRING IT BACK AND FAILED. IT USED TO BE A THRIVING OLACE WHERE PLAYS WERE RUN EVERY WEEKEND AND THEY HAD BANDS AND MOVIES. IT WAS BEAUTIFUL. SUCH A SHAME THAT PEOPLE JUST DONT CARE ANYMORE. THEY WOULD RATHER SIT IN THEIR LIVING ROOMS!

    Not sure how your video showed up in my feed, but glad it did. Awesome to hear that the theater is doing well. I got the chance to go while passing through town. I was hiking the Ice Age Trail in 2018. There was a huge flood that year and I’m just happy they let foot traffic across the bridge. I stayed in a little motel and then saw a movie at your theater.

    • @HalfwayHikes

      Btw, when I hiked the Appalachian Trail I also went to a couple independently owned small town theaters in Luray and Front Royal Virginia. They were great! Inexpensive and customer focused.

    I saw Avatar 2. $20.00! For 1 ticket. Needless to say I did not get any refreshments and the movie was so loud that I got up and asked if they could turn it down. They said they would. They didn't. I had to put my fingers in my ears. It wasn't a good experience to say the least

    What an awesome idea! You should do a 1980s and 1990s theme night....ask people to dress like the time. We have a local theatre and they told me they have no choice but to play the woke weird movies. They can't do throwback movies etc. :(

    You have some good ideas, I don't live anywhere near your theater but checked your website and disappointed to see that you show on-screen ads. Those cheapen the movie experience, and the CURTAINS should be closed before the show starts! It doesn't appear you're showing Ant-Man in 3D either. Any 3D movie should be shown in 3D.
    I used to work in the business running film projectors, I gave up for a number of reasons but the main reasons why I don't go to theaters now are: not all showings for 3D movies are actually in 3D and there shouldn't be an upcharge for it, pre-movie commercials, and screens not being properly masked for the movie being shown (any time I see a movie without proper screen masking, I simply don't return to that theater). I agree the lights should be off during the trailers, but they should also not come up during the end credits!

    • @Homesteadhow

      We show trivia and on screen ads. Trivia for 90% on screen ads for 10% pre-show. We do this to keep our ticket prices down.All tickets are $5 all the time most places charge twice what we do. Our guests prefer the on screen ads VS paying higher ticket and concession costs. You have some good ideas but if we implemented them all our costs would go up prohibitively

    hunger grows when eating. when a person gets a taste for money. a person will do anything to get more.
    that's why you should never make money out of a desire to get rich.
    do what you need to do to live the rest of your life even if there are problems. leave the rest to others.
    greed is man's best friend these days and has been a rising craze for a long time. which will also destroy people.
