MOVIE THEATER DOWNTOWN JAX!?!?!

[tufsu1]

Sorry iMarvin but none of the movie theater chains are doing well these days...which is why I mentioned at the beginning of this thread that expansion right now is pretty much off the table.

^^^So true.  And cannibalization would occur if they put a theater downtown.  There are tons of northsiders and urban core residents who frequent Orange Park, River City, Regency, Tinseltown, and Avenues.  Even with, none of those theaters are more crowded than any theaters I have gone to anywhere else (in fact they are far less crowded).

A small megaplex downtown wouldn't take so much business away from the other ones that they would have to close down.

they aren't exactly flourishing anyway

but as you put it, if a new theater complex downtown wouldn't generate enough business to force any others to close, than it obviously wouldn't generate enough business to be viable.

Right... In a way
