I am glad it didnt het flattened but I was really sad to see it close as a cinema.
If I had the money and the know how I would have loved to have taken it on as I always thought it would have made money if they had introduced theme nights and shown old movies instead of trying to compete directly with the modern cinemas.
Look a the success in other places of Sound of Music nights and rocky horror nights.
Every weekend in the BT Multiplex would have shown old movies with a theme like a Smokey and the bandit weekend with american car fans parked up on the big pavement, cowboy movie weekend with simulated shoot outs and a saloon in the foyer, James bond weekends and everybody could dress up and cheer for their favorites.
I recon it would have been cool but I guess it wont happen in the Toledo now.
