Are there or have there been any movie theaters that play obscure or older movies? Movie theaters that are unlike Star, MJR, or whatever ones you have near you tha play mainstream newer Hollywood films. I want to open a theater for film junkies and potheads and play random movies every week, it seems like a money maker right? |

i've thought about this before, there are loads of cult movies and un-mainstream movies that never made it to the big screen which i would love to see. In the 70s there was something called 'Midnight movies' nonmainstream movies were played to a cult film junkies at midnight each weekend and they were repeated, this was a sort of social interactive experience . it started in newyork and expanded everywhere through the 70s i think there is too much of a demand for holywood style formulaic big budget movies for it to be a big hit these days, but i would like it. |

i think it's a shame that Clash of the Titans was cut in order to give some actor/actress more relevance than another and distort the story |

it could only work if you manage to get people to support the place. independant cinemas notoriously have a tough time. speak to your local government about setting up a cultural trust for the preservation of good and bad taste in your local community. |

where do you live so that you don't have a small theatre nearby? i'd reckon any bigger city has at least a handful? |

i know of theaters around here that play older movies like Some Like It Hot, and all that other stuff, i'm talking more about asian film, western, sci-fi, comedy; the unknown films that cater to moviegoers and not just the latest movie goers who see clash of the titans, iron man 2 etc. for instance newer movies which are released in other countries such as Yip man 2, or others. It seems like a really cool business to get into, but i've gone the complete wrong direction, education wise to do soemthing like that. i'd love to work for one though. |

You might be able to start by holding large outdoor evening parties with projected films. That way, people come for more than just sitting, and you can start that general scene. Make money with high cover, cheap drinks, free food. Then after that, open an extremely small theatre attached to the venue, with about 25 seats or so. That is daily, but really people know the place from the Fri~Sun film parties. |

We had the Schonell and two Dendy cinemas here showing underground and independent movies... Of those three only one Dendy remains. It would probably earn enough in a bigger city than Bris but people are into boring shit here. |
