Good Morning!

My apologies beforehand for potential cross-posting on your friends list, or for a potential off-topic post. I did my best to check the rules of the community beforehand to ensure that I was within the community guidelines.

I am working with a group to explore opening a movie theatre in Somerville dedicated to showing independant, classic, and genre films such as science fiction, action-adventure, and romantic comedies.

To help develop our plan, we've put together a short survey to try to gauge what the community would want in a new movie theatre. If you're from the Boston area, love movies, and have 3-5 minutes to take the following survey, I would greatly appreciate your support.

I think the means by which we would differentiate ourselves from the Brattle would be by offering movies with more mass appeal than the Brattle currently offers. Rather than just focus on classic or art films, we would show something like Raiders of the Lost Ark or Grease or The Breakfast Club. Something that would be of primarily social rather than artistic value.

The Brattle is arthouse, and that's great, because the world needs arthouse. I think we'd be a little more coffeehouse. Almost like a book club, in a way, with a focus on people and discussion rather than art and film.

Thanks everyone for your thoughts. All this feedback is very helpful.
