Everyone loves going to the movies, it's an American tradition. Nowadays lots of people have been building in home theaters to enjoy films out of the comfort of their own homes. But there is still a market for movie theaters. Here's start your own theater.
Instructions
1. Find a location, someplace that is preferably easy to see from a main road or freeway that also has lots of available parking. Once you've found a place to buy or lease you have to build the inside as needed to accommodate your desired look and feel.
2. Purchase all your items. A movie theater requires projection screens, projectors, theater seats and more. Once you have all that set up and your theater is actually starting to look like a theater it's time to set up a concession stand. A lot of a movie theater's profits actually come from the concession stand. All you need is a long counter with glass to show off the goodies, a popcorn machine and fridge with cold drinks.
3. Acquire some films. First-run films are very expensive but if you know some people you might be able to pull some strings. If you can't afford these blockbuster hits consider having your theater be a specialty theater. it can run a specific genre or only independent films or foreign films. Whatever you decide you have to start picking up the phone and making contacts.
4. Begin advertising. Flyers, special promotional postcards, free screenings, and student discounts for the ever popular teenager crowd of movie go-ers. Your advertising may vary depending upon what type of theater you decide to have. That's it. Hire your staff and good luck on your opening night!
