Going Like Sixty

In a move that could make the cineplex the place to be again, a theater company in Canada, called Cineplex Odeon, is renting their big screens to gamers. In a move that makes perfect sense to get revenue from downtime, twelve players can have the theater with its gigantic screen and thunderous sound system for a pretty affordable $179 per two hours. Gamers can bring their own games or use the one provided by the Cineplex facility. Since the XBox only allows four player games, I’m not sure what the other eight dudes will do, except shout insults at the players.  "It takes it to a whole new level when you see the game on a screen that's more than 50 feet wide," said Pat Marshall, Cineplex's vice-president of communications.
Theatres will generally have about 12 to 24 hours of available downtime a week, mostly in the morning, she said. Many theatres are in "full grind" right now showing summer movies, but they should slow down and have more available time once school begins in September
