Make sure to read the two profiles of theater operators! The first is titled ‘Moviehouse operators Mark and Katie Stern’ and the second is titled ‘Angels Theatre’s Olson believes in movie magic’. Both are pretty interesting…
Wow. If the Willimantic Digital Cinemas are really closed that leaves Northeastern Connecticut, with a population of about 250,000 with only one three screen indoor theatre and one three screen seasonal drive-in to serve the entire 250,000 people. The indoor triplex in Colchester is owned by the same man who owned the theatre in Willimantic and two other recently closed theatres, so it could be in danger too. That would leave 250,000 people with NO indoor cinema within a short drive. This could be a great opportunity for the right exhibitor.
