This was not the first time The Rialto had a movie which would be enjoyed so much more on a large screen with a great sound system. I was told by the man responsible for booking the movies that he puts those type of movies in The Rialto because if he didn’t no one would ever go to that theater. He said The Rialto has to make money too so he puts the popular movies there even if they would be enjoyed more on a large screen.
The man who is responsible for booking the movies in The Villages theaters is Craig Franco. He can be reached at 352-750-5411. Voice your concerns to him. Maybe he will get the message.

CB, Thanks much for your response and the contact name. We will certainly contact him and comment on this issue.
As for:
'I was told by the man responsible for booking the movies that he puts those type of movies in The Rialto because if he didn’t no one would ever go to that theater.'
I was assuming this was the true reason, but hoping not. It's a shallow reason as he may be depriving some TVrs from going to see a particular movie in that venue- and perhaps losing revenue as well. We will think twice to see a movie there...
