I would loooove to hear what he would have to say about my theater, though I'm sure the owners wouldn't. Good article and great reading.  |  IP: Logged David Stambaugh Film God Posts: 4021 From: Eugene, Oregon Registered: Jan 2002 posted 01-24-2003 12:13 PM                        Vindication! When I saw "The Rookie" at the Arclight back in May last year, I noticed a severe echo problem in that house. I mentioned it here. Tom mentions the echo problem at Arclight too.  |  IP: Logged Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA.

But the lobby in his theater looks really nice!  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-24-2003 06:56 PM                     Geez Joe, Not every theatre, just the important ones......He'd just send you around to review the smaller locations...

Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-25-2003 01:14 PM                     At the end of of 2001, there were just under 35,000 indoor screens in the US, but I couldn't tell you how many theatres that covers. Also about 650 drive-in screens, or as Variety liked to call them, "ozoners".  |  IP: Logged John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 01-25-2003 01:35 PM                        NATO has on-line statistics: http://www.natoonline.org/statistics.htm They also publish an annual Encyclopedia of Exhibition: http://www.natoonline.org/publications.htm#EofE  |  IP: Logged
