Author Topic: Village Theatres of Chicago Rick McCluney Film Handler Posts: 66 From: Ocean Springs, MS, USA Registered: Nov 2000 posted 05-03-2003 10:16 AM                     Hey, A theatre that I do some work for was recently bought from Regal/UA by Village Theatres. I have never heard of them before and was wondering what anyone on this forum knew about them. I found their website and they only have theatres in the Chicago metro area. The theatre that they bought is located in Gautier, Mississippi. Thanks, Rick [ 05-03-2003, 11:25 PM: Message edited by: Rick McCluney ]  |  IP: Logged Steve Kraus Film God Posts: 4094 From: Chicago, IL, USA Registered: May 2000 posted 05-03-2003 06:45 PM                    Be afraid.

Down payments for equipment were also always paid to us without question. Of course all this was long long ago in a city far far away.

But definately continue to prob into these people to see where there coming from and where they may be heading. I found out the hard way with EFW.  |  IP: Logged Rick McCluney Film Handler Posts: 66 From: Ocean Springs, MS, USA Registered: Nov 2000 posted 05-04-2003 09:46 PM                     It does bring back memories of Rand.
