First movie at a movie theater in your lifetime when you were younger. For me it was "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" back in 1984.

I would like to know what it takes to get job working at Cinemark movie theater I have them in my town working on operating projectors?
Nobody working in a movie theater is just a projectionist any more.
AMC is selling the movie theater in the town that I live in. I cannot express in words how interested I am in purchasing this property. I am in talks with AMC about going through with it. Anyway, assuming I get the property, how do I go about getting the movies, movie posters, and supplies to the theater? I am aware that I would need a film broker, but who? I would really appreciate answers from current theater owners/managers. Thank you!
Today number of independent theatre owners is growing.
This is because when done properly, theater business can be a lucrative source of income. Aside from the money you’ll be earning, you also get to enjoy catering to your own niche crowd that shares the same interest in the type of films you love.
Cinema malls are grouped according to the type of movie they feature.
Movie theaters that run mainstream films from big film companies and distributors coinciding with the release date are deemed as first-run theaters.
Second run theaters on the other hand, as the name implies, feature movies that have already been shown in first run theaters. Ticket prices for theaters that fall under this category are much cheaper.
Then there the Art House theater otherwise known as the repertory theater. This category typically features alternative art films, independent films, or second run classic films.
If you are interested in opening your own movie theater, the first thing you should do is understand the nature of this type of business. There are several resources that can provide you with valuable startup information.
Some suggested reading materials are as follows: (1) Encyclopedia of Exhibition authored by the National Association of Theater Owners (NATO). This group also maintains a website where pertinent and useful information about the industry is delineated. Examples of such are box office statistics, equipment suppliers, index of concessionaires, theater employment and more can be found. (2) The Movie Business Book by Jason Squire tackles a wide variety of topics and can be used as a reference handbook.
Don’t worry about competing with the big players. Your selling point will come from your facility to cater to a niche crowd. Getting the rights to show first run movies can be a bit of a challenge, not to mention pricey! What sets independent theater owners apart is the specialty films they feature. You can choose to show films from a variety of genres or show art films, independent films etc. The key is to choose the type of movies that you are interested in and familiar with. But at the same time, you also need to meet the preference of your target market. These two steps should go hand in hand.
As an independent theater owner, you can afford to be different and not conform to how the big players run their movie theaters. For example, you may replace the typical row seats found in theaters and use tables and chairs instead. This will give your patrons a cozier environment to enjoy the cinema.
As a way to entice moviegoers, you can provide discounts to big groups of people. This is usually is the case when they gather for a corporate event or for a party. In ticket pricing, you may offer discount rates during off-peak hours and/or days. (Trivia: It is said that Tuesday is the slowest day of the week as far the movie business is concerned.) You can also offer discounts to students and senior citizens. Still another option is presenting your customers with movie passes that allows unlimited entrance.

The last one I saw was Avatar. How many months ago was that? 
I think before that it was The Lion king-just kidding.
We don’t go to the movies often, once every 4-6 months. It’s not that I don’t want to go to the movies, I LOVE movie theater popcorn! It’s just that my husband is CHEAP and would rather wait until the movie is out on Redbox.
How often do you go to the movies?
The last movie was Alpha and Omega 3D for the kiddos. The movie before that was Toy Story 3. I go for the kids more than I go for myself. This weekend we are going to the drive-in to see The Social Network, Life As We Know It and a third which hasn’t been updated yet. I would say we go once a month, maybe once every two months depending on what’s in. Personally, I’d rather watch a movie in the comfort of my own home. My husbands the theatre person in the family. =)
My fiance and I would like to have our wedding ceremony in a movie theater in Las Vegas, NV. It’s great for seating, plus our theme is along those lines. Is there anywhere we could rent out the space for 2-4 hours and not watch a movie? Maybe as a bonus put a picture of us on the screen?
Yes, absolutely, you can. Often movie theaters rent out theaters for meetings, conferences and private screenings. Contact a theater you like and see what they can do for you. And have a read of this article with helpful info:
