Kress out, sure foundation in. - Guest - 09-27-2014 Really enjoyed taking the keiki to the movies at the Kress theaters. The laid back atmosphere, reasonable prices, and rich history was a great way to spend an afternoon. Wish we knew they were closing so we could have taken a few more trips or pictures before hand. Would be cool to have a drive thru again down kalapana or show some good old flix like old yeller, where the red fern grows, E.T, ect, in Pahoa (akebono). That's just wishful thinking for Pele has other plans for Puna.

Clearly, the operators (Regal) are making a lot more money on the mall theater they also own. Didja know...movie theaters make 80% of their profit from concessions? (Think giant popcorn, Jr. Mints) On the other hand, WE'RE GETTING A PIER ONE?

The amount the studios keep depend on the release. 80% figure may be true for theaters with more screens. That is why a bucket of popcorn is fifty dollars, and they have snipers on catwalks that will shoot you if you try to bring in food from the outside. Without the concession sales, they would have to close their doors. Rent is high. |
