We are marketing a company that is essentially a restaurant inside of
a theatre.  So, you can sit and watch a movie while you have a nice
dinner, inside a nice environment.  My question is, what percentage of
movie goer's dine prior to or after seeing a movie in a theatre?

Hello.

An estimated 72 to 75 percent of moviegoers dine before or after a movie.

'Fort Lauderdale-based Muvico created Premiere because research showed
75 percent of moviegoers dine before or after, said Emerman.'

Thanks.

What a great idea!!!!!!!!!!

Yea, just stay away from really crunchy things, so your patrons can
hear the movie ;-)

I have been to a restaurant / movie theater already.  There is one in
Marco Island, FL.

Wht not take a whole dinner with you...can even be a special diet
dinner. Macrobiotic, Microbiotic, Atkins, or any specific type...get
