I can’t really pay for a large popcorn at approx $6 cdn given that it’s full of oil and butter – calories and sodium – there have been tv news reports about the extent of fat/calories/sodium – more of a problem as a aging baby boomer – so I drop by IGA/Save on and purchase unsalted cashew nuts and a tuna sandwich…can’t see why the cineplex odeon cannot sell nuts and sandwiches
…but back to the topic …if you want under 25 yr olds ..seems to me you have got to bring the ticket down…to $5 and bring the popcorn price down to $3; and of course build them in the shopping malls
what I truly miss is the highly luxurious theatres with a balcony – royal circle with plush chairs and carpets, drapes, music before the show, the lights dimming and the screen curtains slowly opening; followed by of course commercials and previews, intermission when the curtains close again; and finally the movie…20th Century in Nairbi and Odeon Marble Arch London Uk come to mind…theatres which only show the A movies…even today as an aging baby boomer I would easily pay $15-$20 to experience this..I am sure there is a market for this..the cruise ship theatres are always full….
hollywood movies….only!
royal circle was very comfortable; curved screen meant you could sit right by the wall and still view the screen comfortably; few cinema that had a projection room on the ground floor

easy solution: reduce price to $5.00 and have cinemas in shopping malls in between foodfair, GAP and footlocker
this cinema was originally built by the govt run Kenya Film Corporation in the 1970’s until KFC became insolvent in the mid 1990’s.
