Question:
Movie Theater?
Do you think starting one is a good investment and just plain cool and any one know any good sites to buy stuff for them?

Hate to tell you, cause i would love to do the same thing...
...but it is VERY hard for movie theaters to make profits now a days. Alot are having problems staying afloat, mostly due to the cost of ever changing technology (i.e. Audio set ups, digital projection) and the fact that people are investing in Home theaters, therefore going to theaters less frequently. Not to mention, theaters actually keep very little of the money from ticket sales (percentage depends on what week of release the film is in) and rely on concession sales for profits, which is why a pack of Twizzlers will cost you $4.
The only movie theaters that are actually seeing an increase in profits are the Super Size Screen theaters like IMAX and Odyssey.
Best of Luck if you can make it work though.
Might I suggest something out of the ordinary like a Dining Theater that also serves alcohol. We have one in this state and I think it does pretty well.
