TLSLOEWS commented about Melrose Theatre on May 4, 2011 at 1:45 pm

Well Mike I do not know about other cities or chains but in Nashville we had to pay the operators there full time even if we did not have the last show or not and all the other employees got off early anyway and the Managers were on salary,so in other words there was not that much money lost except for the box office receipts.We did have a few snow nights that no one came to either shows in the suburb theatres.$0 receipts for the night.

TLSLOEWS commented about Loew's Crescent Theatre on Apr 22, 2011 at 4:16 pm

You are right Mike this theatre was also the last Downtown house razed, it was a single level parking lot for many years till the Condo’s were built on the site.The city gets a lot of tax money on a high rise,lots more than a theatre or other building.Thats just the way of the world.Also parking lots make a lot of money for the investment till they sell the land to a developer.
