So: WHAT HAPPENS when a movie theatre can't succeed as a business anymore, and the ownership is ready to sell, go-out-of-business, or retire?

1/ Holy moly, I'm wowed by the quantity & quality of response to my "NOT Everything Everywhere" Canadian exhibition late-night rant earlier this week.

Lots of good commentary from other indie cinemas, filmmakers, media & folks from around the world.

🧵Thread of responses: 2/ BUT FIRST, I want to state on record that I don't believe Cineplex (or any of the good people who work there) are The Bad Guy here... the problem is the disappointing equilibrium of norms & expectations we've all settled into.

Cineplex is a great place to see BIG MOVIES.

EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE, the new movie from @A24 by @Daniels, is playing at the two suburban multiplexes (Cineplex & Landmark)...

...BUT NOT HERE at our art-house cinema, locally owned & operated by an exhausted small business owner can't seem to finish her taxes. @A24 @Daniels The movie distribution & booking paradigm we've been operating within here in Canada has been ***unfavourable*** for independent exhibitors for a long time (100+ years?), and we've managed to not just survive, but thrive in our little non-mainstream niche over the past few years.
