i am thinking of using my laptop n digi projector to use in the hopes of making me some spare change on the side. well my plan goes like this.

rent out a small commercial property its like $300 a month for a nice lil place, u know just start out small

buy furniture (exec leather chairs with massagers/sofas/bean bags/n e thing comfy) not like the rows of hard ass seats in the regular movies.

stock up on snacks and drinks and what products would u like?

what would u pay for admission at urmammasmans theater? half the price of current movie going prices which is $10 a person at n e local theatre or maybe a bargain like $2.50? or maybe like a $1.00

as long as i make enuff bank to cover the rent n a lil profit im set

put in your thoughts n ideas i dont care n e thing would b accepted

First problem:

You are not taking into consideration the cost of setup. You would have to buy all the seats and such, that would end up setting you back at the very cheapest a gran or so.

Second:

Where would you find such a place in a well visited area?

Third:

You would need to comply to copyright laws and such, if you read the begining part of any movie it says that you can not display the movie publicly without written permission, i.e. a contract.
That means more money out.

Fourth:

If your theatre held 20 people, you would be earning approx 3000 a month. This however is no where near what you would need.
(That is worked from having 1 group of 20 people once a day for 5 days a week)

Last but not least:

Who exactly would lend you the 10 or 20 grand for start up costs?
And why would people visit your theatre instead of a trusted brand one?
