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.
They are a BUSINESS, it IS about profit. And you stated the golf courses lose money, NOT. Get your facts straight!

Barnstorm Theater
 
I wish that they would turn the Barnstorm into a cinema and drafthouse.
They could show the old classics for cheap and make a killing off of food and drink.

Who wouldn't want to watch Casablanca and Gone with the Wind on the big screen again ?

They had some of the movies at the Rialto. I remember winning some kind of contest for a free ticket to the movie [I]Gone with the Wind. Or maybe it was a raffle.

They did show various older movies at movie festivals at the Old Mill Playhouse and the Rialto but when I was there at the theater there were usually very few people.

They did do better with the Polo Field Golf Cart movie showings.

I will wait until I can rent it online although I love the big screen and acoustics.

However, I am 10 min from Brownwood.

Developer: PLEASE REOPEN THIS THEATRE. WE HAVE THOUSANDS MORE PEOPLE SOUTH OF 44 AND WE NEED THIS THEATRE.

I just don't get it. It is already there and had been in use until Covid. It will bring people to Brownwood square to spend $ at the restaurants etc. You have tons of golf courses but here is something we really need and you only have a movie theatre in Sumter landing.....
You will be able to purchase a digital copy of Oppenheimer for $19.99 on November 21.

I would hazard, not that many.

I have my order in. Have not seen it nor Barbie yet. But doubt if I will watch them back-to-back.

That is a great idea. There are so many classic movies that would be wonderful to see on a big screen with that beautiful sound system. Actually, I would like to see the theater in LSL showing the old classics and the Brownwood theater for first run movies. Brownwood is a newer theater and the seating is nicer.

If there was a market for old classics to be shown on a big screen they would already be showing it. Sorry.

Personally would love to see the original King Kong on a big screen.
