That sounds right. That will probably be high end apartments or something like that.

Maybe a hotel?

I am surprised they have not started on whatever they plan for that theater but that time will come. BTW the only possibility and it is a very small one, that another theater comes to the area it will be on non developer land

I hope they offer more movie times since I was interested in going to the movie a few weeks ago and the movie times were limited so I didn't go to the movie theatre.

I've never been to any EPIC movie theatres so I don't know first-hand about the experience but did look up reviews on some of their movie theatres near The Villages. There were quite a few negative reviews of dirty theatre seats, stale food, and expensive pricing. I hope it's not an indication of what the Old Mill Playhouse will be. The Villages does a great job in maintenance so I hope this theatre is maintained.

If they have done some research before doing this they should realize that a higher price point is not going to work here.

They say in the article they have no interest in Brownwood.

Nope. Reread the article. They say in the article: "The Villages currently has no plans to reopen the Barnstorm Theater at Brownwood." Not Epic had no interest. You maybe right, but given the limited information we have - we can not say that Epic had no interest.

They could use a movie theater for the Southern parts of the Villages.

From three wonderful, busy theaters to none…in each center..Florida’s friendliest town. We are getting to be just houses crammed together.

The movie industry and movie theatre industry are two separate business. The movie theaters have to rely on the movie industry, with advances in home viewing technology the movie industry might find it more cost effective to directly deal with the consumer. What we can never forget no matter what business you're talking about cutting cost and increasing profits is the goal.

Cutting costs in terms of actors salary does not seem to be in the cards.

I’m glad they do. They.built a great place and feel confident they will keep it great. Not
Sure about “others”
