Gee.. I remember the balcony being open in the early 80’s… in fact I saw Friday the 13th from the second row of it… and Return of the Jedi quite a few times there. One of the biggest problems IMO is that they ran the same movie forever. It worked for Jaws, when people would line up with lawn chairs outside the theatre to wait for the next showing, after a week or two the current feature ran out of steam leaving a mostly-empty theatre.
