It is a question of promises made and not kept. Three open movie theaters is stated plainly TODAY on their website. It is a selling point.

The comment I was responding to was about the possibility of a theater in Middleton, again, not very likely.

With respect to the website showing 3 theaters, it is out of date and should be updated no doubt. However if you click on the links, only the LSL theater give schedule information, the rest are dead ends. We know that SS is dead, BW presents a bigger challenge for repurposing simply due to the size of the facility. While I don’t believe it is a willful deception, it is a minor inaccuracy that should be corrected, at least for SS.

If there not being more movie theaters in The Villages is a huge negative then I do not suggest you move away because you’ll more than likely be disappointed in short order no matter where you move to as the theater industry is imploding upon itself on a daily basis.

There are some very astute business people running the commercial districts of The Villages and if they don’t thing a theater can be profitable in this age demographic then I’ll side with them on this one. But, if someone thinks otherwise I’m sure they’ll lease them the facilities so they can have a go at it with their wallets at risk.
