Yeah he seems to think the only things available are the most heavily marketed Big Studio releases.
Yeah, I didn't even get to the small release stuff. There's actually some really interesting stuff hitting the "art house" theaters these days, and in Tucson if you've got less than a dozen screens you're aiming for the art house crowd so apparently it's more than enough to fill the 2 screens this guy has.
Perhaps he signed agreements that only allow the theater to show movies from certain studios. So he can't just pick and choose what he shows.
