are movies still shown in the theatres using film and reel?

yes, although some theater chains now have both reel to reel and digital projection. As the reel to reels start needing to be replaced, I am sure more theaters are going to switch over.

Many of these movies are not available at stores because of the short edition but you can check out blockbuster not the outlets, the online they have movies that you couldn't even imagine ever exists..☺

Because we have VCRs, DVD and the internet. People may be a little shy about being seen going into a movie theater in public to see an X-rated movie, but technology has made it easy to do it at home. Video not only killed the radio star, it bumped off the X rated movie theater too. You can still see films in adult book stores (peep shows), but those places are only for the sleeziest of the sleezy. Those places are, for the most part, vile. Bottom line if you go to one: don't sit down on or touch ANYTHING!!!

I don't own a movie theatre, but I worked as a projectionist  for 6 years. I also used to set up 16mm film nights at various locales. And yes, it's a lot of work. It's also getting harder and harder to make a profit in that business.\n\nMost movie theatres are owned by large chains (AMC, UA, etc.) and they work closely with the major movie corporations and tend to focus on the big blockbusters etc. If you own an independent movie theatre you really can't hope to compete with them, so it's better to go into the "art house" cinema. Running old movies, foreign films, and art house films that the larger cinemas ignore.\n\nTheatre's are also changing as they start to change over to digital projection, so it may not be the best time to get into the cinema business as if you purchase one and set up a 35mm projector (very big and costly, but still the format of choice) in a few years you may find yourself having to shell out even more money to change over to digital projection (the format of the future, probably be standard in about 10 years).\n\nAnyway, once you get a building and set up your projection, etc. You'll then need to get in contact with a distribution house for prints to show, a distributor for concessions (snacks, drinks, etc. - where most of your money is made), and you'll need to start advertising. Show movies that people want to see, and they'll come. \n\nThe old Centre Theatre in downtown Jacksonville,FL used to be for sale (this was many years ago). It was lovely building, but it needed a lot of restoration work. Have no idea if it's been torn down, bought out, or what.\n\nIf you have any questions, feel free to send me a mail. (just click on my picture and use the contact button.) \n\nGood luck!

I don't think so, unless your talking about something illegal! If you don't already, try searching for movies from cinemanow.com and/or movielink.com. These sites are legal and charge for movie downloads. Their are thousands of movies in their site. But I don't think movies are available before they are released in stores.

My question would be movies for entertainment or movies that are based off of books?  \n\nIn several of my classes, my professors would have us read the book or the story and then we would watch the movies in class and contrast and compare.  That's more of a director vs. author argument, though.  However, the justification for showing the movies, too, is that it helps to better the understanding of the cultural perspective (when the book was written vs. when the book takes place vs. when the movie was released).\n\nI hope I didn't confuse you and that I gave you something to think about and maybe even a basis for an argument...\n\nBy the way, what side are you on?

You have to be more specific in your questions.  It seem people are thinking of movie halls rather than in the screen.   To be more specific, cigarette smoking by any character in a movie like hero, heroine, villian on screen has been banned.   I am against it.  Eventhough i am not a smoker and don't like smokers, but sometimes it is inevitable in some scenes..  So censor should come into play and they edit those scenes if found unnecessary.

yes ! going to the theater is the best way to see it (go in the day though ) note: people who don't like the movie don't seem to  understand it so if you don't get it the 1st time see again then you will.

No -- not at those prices.\n\nOccasionally there are free showings -- on the beach as part of a huge outdoor event.   And, the downtown library has free showings of eclectic movies, I believe every Monday night at 6 p.m.\n\nThe best deal is at the Vogue Theatre in downtown Chula Vista.  Three movies for $3.99.   An extra 50 cents for reclining seats in the back (they're also cleaner!)    Snacks and drinks are much cheaper than your plex ripoffs, too.\n\nThese are generally family / teen movies that have been out for 3-4 months.   For example, the new Superman film will show at the Vogue in September.

while you make a good argument, the VAST majority of movie watchers still buy their movies in a physical form.  the blu-ray/HD-dvd debate is going to be alive and well for a long time, because the only demographic that downloads things heavily enough to make movie downloads feasible are young people.  if the entire country was downloading stuff non stop, then your idea could be plausible.

There is a store here in Wisconsin.(USA) called Hollywood video that can get pretty much any movie.  I am not sure if they have a web site.  If I can find it here How would I let you know?
