Movie Theaters Have Weird Real Estate. It’s Saving Them.
Landlords cut rents to keep the spaces occupied, rather than repurpose windowless rooms and sloped floors
"B&B Theatres built the theater to withstand “slow movie months” with 16 bowling lanes, arcade, a rock-climbing wall, pickleball & bocce courts, 3 full bars & an outdoor balcony that can be rented for private parties."
