I've been going to the Dome since 1963 or 64, when I saw "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World." (That night has always stuck in my mind because we had dinner at a long-gone diner across the street and I spilled a glass of milk all over my sister.) I saw everything from "2001" to "1941" there (so my track record for lousy movies is pretty strong).
I would imagine that either another chain or, especially, a streaming service will purchase the place, as it would give them a nice opportunity to showcase their own product and make nice with the other studios and indies by playing their stuff. My ideal scenario, though, would involve Netflix selling the Egyptian back to the Cinemathque and buying the Dome complex. --Dave Sikula On Monday, April 12, 2021 at 7:24:12 PM UTC-7 Kevin M.
