Movie house owners in small towns across the land screwed over by the Hollywood greedsters to the point that they were driven out of business. Result is tens of millions of potential customers with no local venue who have a long trip to attend a

Boy, have you hit the nail on the head with THAT observation!

Theater after theater forced to close it's doors because it could not afford the cost of going digital. The very nice one I used to attend locally sits idle, rotting away. The one where I used to live is now a megachurch.

Way to SCROOOOO your business partners of nearly a hundred years.

The digital shafting angle is the latest manifestation but I think the mass genocide of the independent theater and drive-in owners started in the late 60s and ran into the mid to late 80s. Just my non-expert opinion.

I would bet that the new digital projection stuff costs upwards of a hundred grand. If you run on small margins then how the hell do you afford it?
