Thanks for posting. There sure were some in downtown Detroit. Back when the “willing suspension of disbelief” was fascinating. We were children once, playing with toys. Nostalgia BUMP!

Today you can get as good or better picture and sound at home, without paying $100 for a few popcorns and cokes. That is not counting being able to pause the picture to hit the restroom and being able to talk to friends and family while NOT having to listen to strangers talk to theirs.
I have not been to a movie theater since 2010 and even before then it as maybe once a year or less.
And like everything else the left has touched, they have shat upon them.
Beautiful chairs don’t have cup holders.
As one would expect, those are some of the most austere and ugly theaters I’ve ever seen.

Repertoire cinemas can be interesting but the interior of this one has been “modernized” (2014) and from the photo of the interior looks like a typical multiplex in my town. I can’t call that “most beautiful cinema”. But it’s like those “50 greatest rock guitarists of all time” lists or “the best 100 albums of all time” in Rolling Stoned magazine, they HAVE to list some contemporary bands so the modern audiences feel connected and that they didn’t “miss out”.
I’ve only been to one of these theaters although another one listed is a relocated theater I did visit.
I still think that they missed some other still operating theaters and the takeaway is that all around the world the good revival/specialty houses are a rare breed in today’s economy and either needing to go to GoFundMe, merchandising (distribution or collectible prints and other merch), or turn non-profit to stay alive.
That’s the anti-Trump theater you got there. With the nasty marquees.
