Disney at the Arclight in August

Ok, what did the Hollywood Arclight do to get the relative crap that is unlikely to have any chance at bringing in an audience outside the relative narrow Disney geek crowd?

Three themes I guess:
Animated Classics
Mostly Live Action Musical Classics
Live Action Non-Musical Classics That Prove That Generally "Live Action Disney Non-Musical Classic" is an oxymoron.

I love seeing old movies theatrically but can't imagine paying (especially Arclight prices) for any of those five and two of them I'd demand reparations if forced to sit through again.

Locate themselves in Hollywood where there's a never-ending supply of niche film geeks?

If Hollywood has a surplus of people wanting to pay $18 to watch mediocre to bad old Disney movies on a Monday night then I guess it is a smarter move than I give them credit for. But that still seems like a really narrow niche.

I'll likely never know, I guess, whether I'm right or wrong. Unless someone here goes to all of them and reports on attendance. But that would mean someone having to sit through Something Wicked This Way Comes and that would just be cruel.
