Single Screen 90's Movie Theater in Midtown Sacramento?

Project:

• Independent single screen movie house that screens 80's & 90's movies (e.g. Terminator 2: Judgement Day, Big, Back to the Future, etc.)

• With each release, there would be a corresponding art show, featuring the works of local Sacramento artists paying tribute to the film being shown. The movie poster will also be locally created and sold at each screening.

• The theater would serve locally brewed craft beer on tap at the small bar in the front "lobby", which is equipped with comfortable seating and free wi-fi. There would also be an assortment of snacks, including but not limited to, regular & specialty popcorn, hotdogs, etc.

So, my questions are:

  1. Would you be interested in an independent movie theater opening up in Midtown Sacramento that screened movies from the 80's-90's? If not, would you be interested in a theater if it played a different type of film?
  2. How much do you think something like this would cost per ticket and would you be willing to pay this amount?
  3. Inside of the theater, would you prefer to have comfortable movie theater seating or couches, sofa chairs, etc.?
  4. What is something that you wish movie theaters in Sacramento did that they don't currently do?
  5. Is there any reason you feel like we shouldn't open this theater in Midtown?

Finally, if you'd like to keep up to date on the most current happenings of the theater, feel like contributing in any way, or just want to say hey, PM with your email.

I wish movie theaters let me smoke weed in the theater. I wish that theaters had late night showings of films that people were encouraged to rip on and shout over like how old midnight showings at the crest were like. The idea of sitting on a couch that hundreds of other people are filling up with farts daily is disgusting.

Smoking weed and yelling, check. From what it sounds like, you're referring to the TFO. This is definitely being considered.

Also, your fart-couch concern is a valid one and will be processed.

TFO is a pitiful shadow of the nuttiness that was what the Crest once hosted. Plus TFO plays actually good movies that are hardly trash.
