If you think it’s such a great business idea, why don’t you talk to the villages commercial properties and lease the space and open your own theater? |

I don't understand your point. I didn't need a response to the feedback message, but they decided to not correct the website information that I described in the feedback message. Also, they did not return phone calls when I left voicemails.

With respect to the website showing 3 theaters, it is out of date and should be updated no doubt. However if you click on the links, only the LSL theater give schedule information, the rest are dead ends. We know that SS is dead, BW presents a bigger challenge for repurposing simply due to the size of the facility. While I don’t believe it is a willful deception, it is a minor inaccuracy that should be corrected, at least for SS. If there not being more movie theaters in The Villages is a huge negative then I do not suggest you move away because you’ll more than likely be disappointed in short order no matter where you move to as the theater industry is imploding upon itself on a daily basis. There are some very astute business people running the commercial districts of The Villages and if they don’t thing a theater can be profitable in this age demographic then I’ll side with them on this one. But, if someone thinks otherwise I’m sure they’ll lease them the facilities so they can have a go at it with their wallets at risk.

While I never met the man, I have many friends who knew him and did business with him and his son that have shared with me their impressions and experiences of dealing with an aggressive and focused team of businessmen. They were first and foremost salesmen, not the lowlife used car or snake oil type salesmen, but salesmen and businessmen 100% of the time. Yes they took great pride and believed in the product that they were selling. These men, and their descendants currently running the business, are focused on being successful and this has benefited both themselves, the residents who have chosen to move here, as well as the surrounding communities and many businesses that have grown as result of their efforts and vision. So yes, it does have to be about the money. It ALWAYS has been and ALWAYS will be, because this is a business.

He never stopped changing his vision and/or direction. If he had stopped the Villages would today consist of only the original trailer court! Let's give the whole family credit! They have followed Mr. Schwartz leadership example! |

Six-dollar tickets one day a week to old-timers who smuggle in their popcorn and drinks from home is a real money-making opportunity.

Are those stating support willing to buy into an annual "movie theater membership" plus admission fees to sustain the establishments viability??
With prices continuing to go up as the participation dwindles.....like it has as evidenced by the closing of 2 of the 3 theaters. Of course I jest! ____________________________________________ ![]() |

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. |

The petition will get filed right next to the petitions to reopen Katie Bells, rebuild the clubhouse, restaurant, pool, and tennis courts at Hacienda Hills, and bring back the farmers market and two hour happy hour at Spanish Springs.

Probably true. It is the green they are after. They will put something in where they can get 4 times the profit of the movie theater.

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. |
