Last year I tried to drum up a Super Bowl showing in our local theater,Stadium 16.They did not consider it viable because of the inevitable consumption of alcohol.I realized they were right,but just imagine the Super Bowl on a theater screen!
1046-Here in DC some movie theaters have alcohol. I know the theaters owned by Mark Cuban do. Personally I think it's a great idea.
When they (The movie theaters) decide to offer a value instead of over priced tickets and ridiculous concession prices, then they will start gaining customers back.
I have been buying movies every week and watching them in my home theater and at $20.00 a disk for blue ray it is still much cheaper than sittin in an uncomfortable seat and watching the people in front of me texting all through the movie.
