It is not about making money. I doubt if the theaters here ever made much of a profit. Any of them. You need a chain of them really to compete.
Out of 130,000 + residents fewer than a couple hundred pay to go to movies daily around here. So the Great Benefactor should use their money to support what you admit are fiscally losing businesses?

I'll return the same question - What is it that you people do not get?

And by the way, similar to the current theater situation, I've never seen a busy basketball court anywhere in The Villages.
