in a heartbeat.
from the studio briefing on imdb.com:
Australian media company Village Roadshow has disclosed that tickets for its deluxe Gold Star Cinemas will go for $35 apiece when the theaters open in the U.S. The Hollywood Reporter said today (Wednesday) that the company is planning to open 50 such theaters in this country over the next 5 years, with the first to open in suburban Chicago this year, featuring reserved seating (only 40 seats per theater), special parking, and “upscale” food service by waiters in the auditoriums. “It’s an absolutely different environment than anything else that exists,” Village Roadshow CEO Graham Burke told the trade paper. Village Roadshow has already opened some 100 Gold Class theaters in Australia, Singapore and Greece.
imagine, not rushing to the theater, not waiting in lines, not siting in a tight room like flying coach to singapore. decent food – no lines – small crowds, i am so there!

Aw hell yes. There’s nothing like the upscale cinemas. People who talk are escorted out. I love it!

Hmmmm, I’m not sure about this. I don’t even like paying 8 bucks for a movie, let alone 35.
Off the top of my head I cannot think of a movie I’d be willing to pay this much to see– even if it included food and beverage.

I think you like the idea of waiters serving you only in a bow tie. Didn’t I read that somewhere??

I can’t recall a Movie I would pay 35 bucks to see. and that’s hesides the 12 dollar movies plus 15 bucks in popcorn and soda and then then 20 bucks for the dvd if it was any good. Sometime I will tell you about the 95 dollar “broken hearts club” experience.

What happens if your chauffeur drives you down there and the forty seats for the film you want to see are taken?
You’d have to get him to drive you all the way back, and the champagne would have gone all warm.
A nightmare.
