Sigh. It's been about 9 years since we last went. CP and I heard they were closing the last one in our area to make way for a multiscreen megaplex type thing. So we went to see a double feature of The Rock and Phenomenon.
It became quickly apparant why they were shutting it down. It cost $5 for the double feature. In the end, we made $5 each off of them. If I remember the seuqence of events correctly, the first time, it got about half way through The Rock when we see the film melting. So they refunded our money and gave us a free ticket to come back again. We came back again the next week. This time, we saw The Rock in full, but between the movies, they announced that the projector broke down. So they again gave us a refund of our $5 (remember, we got in on a free ticket this time) and a free ticket to come back. The third time was the charm and we saw both films, but in the end, we were up $10. Not a particularly profitable state of affairs for them.
