To SFUVancouver's point, yes it would have been much better to include theatres as part of a Landowne Mall redevelopment, given that it has it own C-Line station.

How many new movie theaters would this make? New Westminster Azure, Marine Drive, Tssawassen(?sure they will have ones in that big of a mall), this Outlet Mall, .............sure there is more in the suburbs I dont know of.

there was a plan probably more than 10 years ago now to build a movie theatre and playdium across the street - to the east of Lansdowne mall, it never went through, playdium went bankrupt and silvercity built out at steveston, the site is now condos
with the loss of the theatres at richmond centre they really could use a new theatre somewhere along the canada line or "downtown" richmond
as for movies - the theatres make the money on food, i was reading recently than studios will usually keep anywhere from 90-100% of movie tickets the first couple of weeks and as time progresses the theatre themselves get to keep a bigger portion of the tickets sales eventually reaching 100% of sales if the movie is a few months old - thats why the bigger theatres seem to play some older movies for so long - so if you wanna support a theatre its better to go when the movie has been out a while and they can keep more of the ticket sales
