Buisness plan

Ok, so I was talking to April last time I saw her and she mentioned opening up a movie theater. Her suggestion was to open a dollar theater and show older movies for cheaper tickets. I had actually played around with the idea myself some time before and had more or less forgotten about it until recently when thinking of what she said again.

My idea for a movie theater:
A struggle within

by Philip Rigney

Let me take you on a little tour of my movie theater, a tour of the mind if you will because I don't have any pictures to post with this. You walk into a room, you check for traps and find none (bah dum ching!) there are a few couches and stuff in the room, a recliner or two, and some nice theater seating. You select your seat and sit down and notice the option to call over a waiter to bring you whatever you want. Pizza, popcorn, nachoes, a soda, a beer, its all good and its all there without you having to get up out of your seat to get it. The lights dim, you sit back and relax and the screen lights up with the magic of the silver screen. You look up and behold, the glory of Die Hard playing in full surround sound while you relax with your date and see your favorite action movie on the big screen. Tomorrow you plan on coming back to watch Casablanca because she gets to chose the movie tomorrow. The ticket prices are affordable enough to be able to see your favorite movies more then once a month. You can still come by to see the latest and greatest movies: Spiderman 6: the search for Spock, Rocky Balboa: revenge of Mr. T's son and whatever, but the main draw will be on Thursday when we're playing Jaws and you've always wanted to see the shark on a big screen like that.

That is basically my idea. It sounds simple enough, so there has to be lots of problems I don't see, like paying royalties to the actors for showing old movies like the original Star Wars. That and it would cost something like 5k per room. You'd have to get good couches and stuff, so 3k right there, a kickass surround sound, so maybe 1,500 with that? A modern movie projector AND a DVD projector, so theres another couple thousand. Then on top of that, theres the question of "would this actually work?" I mean, how much would you pay to see your favorite movie of all time on a nice and big screen, without renting out a theater and getting better seats and serves?

seriously, would you?
