This is what I'm thinking. I've seen plenty of movies with 3 or 4 other people in the theater. And I'm not talking about matinees. Any higher in prices and either people will prefer to go to the megaplexes for first run movies or will buy the DVD that's already out by the time it hits second run (keep in mind that 2x$6 tickets is almost what a DVD costs new).

Also, these theaters just went through a large renovation (all new seats) which was rather costly I'm guessing and also pay a lot for rent as Davis Square realty prices are sky rocketing.

How much are the projectionists paid now? How much are union projectionists paid? How much are union dues and would all the projectionists be willing to shell out the $600 or $800 per year to join the union (they're not free ya know)?
