Author Topic: planning new theatre Phil Radosevich Film Handler Posts: 22 From: Centerville, IA, USA Registered: Jun 2000 posted 11-20-2002 10:35 PM                     I'm planning to build a new 3 or 4 plex in a town I already own a single screen in. How many X over what I'm doing now can I expect?  |  IP: Logged Steve Scott Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1300 From: Minneapolis, MN Registered: Sep 2000 posted 11-21-2002 07:08 PM                     For the first few weeks you'll probably have people just flocking to see the new place. After that, it all depends on how you set up your bookings and the quality of each theater's presentation is.  |  IP: Logged Dennis Benjamin Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1445 From: Denton, MD Registered: Feb 2002 posted 11-21-2002 08:18 PM                        There are SO many factors involved here. I have been educating myself on this aspect of our industry. You need to look at a 25 mile radius around the area you are building. Population, entertainment habits, and income levels all play into the demographics of the area. You would probably need to do a feasibilty study for the area. How does your single screen do?  |  IP: Logged Daryl C. W.

If it's the latter, your customers might support the addition of a few screens.  |  IP: Logged Dave Bird Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 777 From: Perth, Ontario, Canada Registered: Jun 2000 posted 11-22-2002 07:12 AM                        Still planning the drive-in out back as part of it? Not that crazy, I think a fellow is planning to do the same up here. More details when I get 'em....  |  IP: Logged Phil Radosevich Film Handler Posts: 22 From: Centerville, IA, USA Registered: Jun 2000 posted 11-22-2002 09:16 AM                     Yes Im still planing the drive in.  |  IP: Logged
