Long Island Boy – The theatre is in god’s country – Central Illinois and the cost of living and real estate likely alot less than where we are from and at only 20 hours is half capacity and i dont know how you think you know the gross sales but even at that, operate at full capacity and the thing could be doing $150k and more. Plus you have living quarters – how much money do you make from your house? plus if it is small town what kind of competition do you think is going to come to town? duh! Shoot – you could even have a day job and run the thing at night. Why are you giving the guy a hard time, do you own the theatre in the next town? I dont think long island boy is much of a business man – perhaps that is why he is the way he is!
BACK OFF —– THE GUY IS JUST TRYING TO SELL A THEATRE. THE MORE DIRT YOU THROW, THE LESS YOU HAVE TO STAND ON!! If you guys have so much time and experience in the industry why are you bashing a fellow theatre owner who has likely been through the same trials and tribulations as you all. Do you not have anything better to do than cruise websites and be negative.
We all know it is a rough business, as is anything these days – competing with the big guys. This guy did what none of you would have the guts to do. It sounds like this is a small town theatre and probably was more concerned with doing something for the community and not for mere profit. Would any of you do it – likely not. And it is possible to make some money here. There are not many businesses where you can get your hands on the same “hot” item that all of the nation also has available w/o putting some money up front to do so. And in that regard – we dont sink a penny up front. Nothing is easy, but if you love what you do it can be and at this scale is is probably a simplified operation. As with anything, work involved and many of you like to complain about it – but is much different working for yourself than somebody else. I know I have done both. I admire this. So good luck to you sir and ignore all the ignorant comments.
mind over matter – come on
No it is not my theatre, I just don’t like your comments. Go kick your dog instead.
Please -email some photos. I have 4 theatres and in the process of rehabbing, might be interested depending on condition
