Theaters in Trouble - The Closing of Pleasant St. Theater
This was not a planned part of my article series about the future of movie theaters. I mentioned in the previous part of my series - http://kotwg.blogspot.com/2012/05/future-of-movie-theaters-part-three.html - that hopefully art house theaters will be spared the financial devastation newer technology in chain theaters represents. Theaters like Pleasant St. Theater, which shows a mixture of foreign, independent and alternative movies could potentially exist in their own right because of the demand for these types of films. Unfortunately this is not the case for this theater and on June 8 the small little theater will close.
