Our situation is getting near a point where we have to consider adding a screen or two to our theatre to keep profitable. We are profitable right now, but I see things trending to a point in 5 or so years where we may not be. Films are only holding for 2 weeks where they used to hold for 3-4 and opening grosses are not what they used to be.
We typically see 30,000-50,000 patrons per year, with the last few years leaning much more towards 28,000-35,000.
What % increase in business have you seen from adding a screen? Two? I have heard the 50% figure thrown around a lot.
If you did a new construction addition how much did it cost? How many seats did you add? Our architecture and historical nature would cause major problems if we cut up the original building, but we have the space to add on to the existing structure.
I will be consulting an architect fairly soon, but just wanted to know of other owner experiences.
