It is not about profit! It is about having that attraction for home owners. And they highlighted having THREE movie theaters in their literature ever since the Barnstorm opened.

They only had the Rialto here when we moved here in June of 2005. The Old Mill Playhouse opened around November of 2005. Barnstorm probably a few years after the Old Mill Playhouse opened.

And some of the big movie openings were sold out. At every theater they had one of these.
