People who travel by metro/bus, try to go to guzzo in the suburbs by public transit, people who live downtown, and god knows there are more and more each years, people who go for a movie and then go out to bars, restaurants...
As far as i know, the paramount has never been empty, and it seems to be quite profitable.
However, the AMC is a whole other situation, and it's not the parking fares in the street and in the area that will help, the whole area needs to be revitalised, even the forum pepsi itself, it's too bad it never become what it was supposed to be (missing parts are the imax style theater, there was supposed to be a rainforest cafe, many more bars and restaurants, but delays in the projets, companies in financial difficulties, low affluence of people all contributed to the dismised of the forum pepsi, way before parking fares.
