And it solves the rat's nest of cabling.

Tom Owen

When designing the Oscars, I try to make the current show as different from the year before as possible. Last year's show was distinguished by a hi-tech, 'cutting-edge' style.

(The Bob Hope Theater) is one of the most beautiful theaters we've ever played.

Lisa Schwartz

Everybody brings something to the table, and we don't pretend not to have other influences, ...

The longer you keep a film in the theaters, the more value it'll have down the line.

Michael Barker

Our position is that there's no economic case for shortening the release pattern. We haven't allowed it to happen yet and that policy will continue. We think theaters are the natural launching pad for movies, that theatrical runs create the buzz that sells videos later on.

Melanie Bell

If we get to the point where it's a success here, there are other theaters (across the country) that are interested.

Michael M. Kaiser

I know that several of my friends and I have been anxiously awaiting to see 'Capote,' 'Good Night, and Good Luck,' 'North Country,' 'Mrs. Henderson Presents,' etc. etc.. Can you tell us why these films go to (and stay) at certain North Side theaters?

Diane Coleman

It was nothing like I thought it would be, I actually laughed and felt everything that went on in the movie, I know I said I wouldn't go see it in the theaters but I know now that [it] would have been a mistake.

Brandon Miles

There's a way for them to continue to be an essential part of the mix, but they do risk being made irrelevant if they don't change their ways. It's not inevitable that the window between theaters and DVDs will disappear, but theaters would be wiser to pay more attention and explore all the alternatives. With certain movies, it might be smarter to have a simultaneous release.

Dade Hayes

In the 1950s, everything we needed was on Stratford Avenue — movie theaters, doctors, dentists, clothing shops, banks and grocery stores. We don't have a lot of services in the neighborhood today, but I'm very confident we can bring the neighborhood back.

Robert Morton

Only two theaters in the entire United States.

Melvin Van Peebles

One thing we have learned, disruptive technologies rarely unfold in ways we expect or predict. Our challenge is getting people out of the home and into the theaters to be entertained.

Where the Truth Lies is a sophisticated and intelligently provocative film. The NC-17 rating will unfairly limit people's access to it because of the number of theaters in America which will not play an NC-17 rated film. The film has not encountered this kind of restrictive rating anywhere else in the free world. Only in America will many be deprived of access to it.

Robert Lantos

[Ultimately, though, Cuban and Wagner are betting that offering multiple formats won't cut into any single format's sales, because they appeal to different audiences.] Our argument is that people want to go to the movie theaters because they want to go to the movie theater, ... It's not about seeing it just because it's not at home. I have food at home, too, but I still go to restaurants.

Todd Wagner

Releasing the film in theaters will only build upon the largest grassroots mobilization in the history of film distribution.

Robert Greenwald

The theatrical community - music and dance - adds a unique touch to New York City. There are more than 400 small off off Broadway theaters on record.

Doug Kauffman

That's one of the reasons we're only in approximately 2,000 theaters. We had made (over) 3,200 prints for the initial release. We took those prints and cannibalized them (taking the best of the available reels) and came up with 2,000 good usable prints.

Wayne Lewellen

There's nothing magical about getting an Equity contract. If you walked in off the street and auditioned for a show, and I couldn't cast you as a non-pro, and I wanted you for the show, I would put you on an Equity contract. But most often, regional theaters try not to do that.

Bill Brusca

We're touring nine to 14 weeks a year and are starting to fill theaters that hold up to 2,000 people. So we are actually paying bills with this - not all our bills, you know, but at least the essential ones. We're not entirely in the dark.

Jonah Rapino

Some will become famous. Some of these films you could see in theaters in your neighborhood. Some could be seen at some of the bigger film festivals, like sundance. Who knows?

Martha Mitchell

We are closely monitoring the film and the reactions of patrons in our theaters, but as of today we have no incidents.

Greg Dunn

It's a myth that the movie business was booming during the Depression. For one thing, there wasn't as much repeat business back then. A movie came out, played theaters for a while and then that was it.

Peter Rainer

You can think of it as a discount, too, in some areas, just as you might see discounts in movie theaters or discounts in airlines or hotels. The same thing with gasoline.

Rayola Dougher

Wendell Perkins

The theaters were the hardest hit, but to some extent all the stores got water intrusion.

Ron Yoda

Barry Rebo

I need to go someplace faraway that doesn't have telephones and doesn't have a record player and doesn't have movie theaters and people walking down the street in order to not do anything.

Will Oldham

This would be a new venture for us. Many of the most prominent nonprofit theaters have a history of developing work that have moved to commercial runs, Broadway being the most prominent.

Robert Hupp

The theaters are . . . a business. If August's plays weren't out there for all these theaters to jump on, they wouldn't have done it at all.

Charles Weldon

I enjoyed my visit there two years ago and found it to be one of the finest theaters I have ever seen, ... To dismember this great theater would be a crime.

Patricia Neal

Let's put it this way: art house theaters are vanishing. They have almost disappeared completely, and that means there's a shift in what audiences want to see. And they have to be aware of that and be realistic. It's as simple as that.

Werner Herzog

This summer is off to a fabulous start. People thought it was going to be dominated exclusively by 'Star Wars.' It turns out there are a number of hits in the marketplace. The marketplace expanded, Star Wars is doing great, but there are a lot of other hits that are playing in theaters now.

Martin Grove

I've been involved in the construction of several theaters around the country, but this is the first time I've even seen architects and builders so extraordinarily receptive and responsive to the needs of the theater and theater artists. They have really kept their eye on the ball and are treating this as a space specifically to make plays.

Richard Corley

Brian Regan makes me cry. I see him every time he comes to Boston. Quite honestly, I'm surprised it's taken him this long to get to theaters and break out of the clubs.

John Tobin

Generally it's doing very well in the theaters where we have it.

Terrell Falk

It's really exciting being on the ground floor of a new technology. And I think it's going to be a great way to get patrons back in the theaters.

Ron Horton

This was this guy's passion. He sat in movie theaters when he probably was supposed to make collections and break some knees or something.

Danny Devito

Butch Rigby

Scott Creel

The whole question of relations between theaters in different countries is a very vital one, ... given the days we live in and the speed of communication. I'm a union man myself. I sympathize with protecting jobs, [but] I think it would be healthy if there was a freer flow.

Thomas Kilroy

I don't believe that two (theaters) can survive.

Eugene Edwards

A few years ago the big question was could IMAX get Hollywood content on their screens and theaters to sign up. But studios now see the value of putting movies on IMAX screens since consumers have much better home theaters.

Eric Wold

We make more money from home video than theaters, which is why we created this division.
