"When we finally re-opened, our ticket buyers dropped to 30% of pre-pandemic levels.. We have lost massive business with studios releasing their movies digitally at the same time. As a second run theater, we have to wait 36 days before we can show the hit movie. By this time, families have already seen it on their streaming channel. We may not be able to keep our doors open much longer," explains Richard Wolfe of Roxy Theater at 2004 Main St, Northampton, PA 18067. Stars to appear. Christmas carols and Christmas treats to accompany.

"As a father of five kids and small-business owner of Goodruby Christian Bookstore, my wife and I sent an email out to our customer list inviting them to The Farmer and The Belle's Saving Santaland Thanksgiving week at Harkins Theatres Casa Grande, AZ and received a great response. We will bring a table and sell items from our store afterwards. We hope this movie-going experience will create a new family Christmas tradition for our community and store to enjoy for years to come."
