It is more an image thing except that not sure that even matters all that much.

They have their sheep well in hand.

I believe it was explained the reason the theatre closed in Spanish Springs was because the company that owned it went bankrupt. Sorry, I do not remember the name of the company.

Theatres are closing everywhere in the USA because as someone said it is a dying business. With that in mind, my best guess is that whoever ran/owned the theatre in Brownwood probably went bankrupt as well. The developer does not run the theatres as far as I know. If anything, he merely has a rental agreement with the company and nothing more. Once the buisness is deserted, the developer must find someone else to lease the property. If a movie company is not interested there is nothing that can be done. Move on, and find another way to lease the property.

I will look for it.

Hardly sounds like a "conservative thriller". Just a story that needs telling.

Conservative Thriller. So truthful then.

I do not recall ever reading that someone else owned the Rialto Theater.

And they seemed to be doing very well before COVID.

I believe the developer owns the theaters but can you disagree with the fact that folks do not go to the movies nearly as often as before covid?

You are right, I do not personally know Mark Morse. But I stand by my post that I heard (not read) that the company who ran the Rialto went bankrupt. Perhaps I heard it in one of the Continuing the Dream Videos. All I can say is that I remember hearing it from one of "the family members" in an open forum.

I have extensive background in Real Estate Market. I have met a minute few developers who get involved in the commercial running of a business on his developed land. It is not the nature of their business. As I stated, it was my best guess scenario based on what I personally know about land developers. If it is different in the Villages, I will be eager to hear what you know. I am on this forum to learn.

Only watched 4 during that time, all at home when they became available. Top Gun Maverick, A Man Called Otto, Avatar, the way of water, and John Wick 4.

For all the good this petition is doing, you may as well spit into the wind.

I signed. It would be nice to have it open again. The naysayers wouldn't be patrons if it were open anyhow, so all the repeating from the same posters makes no difference.

And what’s up with all the superhero and zombie crap. Whatever happened to comedy, action, and suspense/thriller movies?
