Here is a couple of suggestions for the Hollywierd types.
1) Make Movies that are ENTERTAINMENT. Not POLITICAL or to MAKE A STATEMENT.
2) Lower ticket prices from 10 buck a head for a regular show.
3) lower concession stand prices... Really who wants to pay 2.25 for a 32 oz coke and 2.00 for a damn hot dog.
4) Make movies people want to see and don't try to force your left wing propaganda down our throats.

That would be my biggest complaint. I can only name a couple of recent movies that didn't take a swing at conservatives, religion, or George Bush at some point during the movie.

Most theaters couldn't reduce the price of concessions and stay in business.

Most of the money for first run movies goes back to the studios. Some cities even have a special tax on tickets. Now they are taking a bigger share of movie advertising. Concessions are all that is left to make a dime on.

Maybe if the big Hollywood studios would reduce their take on every movie, stop paying bloated (and incestuous) bureaucracies, then the financial dynamics of the industry might change.
