Dont think this is going to fly.

Not sure what petitioning the city will do. Its not like they can force a private theatre company to build a movie theatre there unless they give them massive subsidies or tax breaks. That wouldn't be in the best interest of the tax payer. Then you'll have a bunch of other private establishments wanting tax breaks because citizen's petitioned for their services in that end of town.

Theres a reason the movie theatre closed up shop at Centre Mall. It wasn't economically viable for Ciniplex. The market has determined the need for movie theatres, and that wasn't at Centre Mall. If there is a business case to make money at a movie theatre in the East End, someone will build it. Right now there isn't.
