What is it that you people do not get? Movie theaters like basketball courts are features for homeowners and their visiting family members leading better lives in the Villages rather than having to go to Ocala or Leesburg to see movies on the big screens.

It is not about making money. I doubt if any of the Villages' theaters here ever made much of a profit. Any of them. You need a chain of them really to compete.
