$50? No way. Unless you cleaned out the concession stand. If you look at a receipt from the theater, I believe you wills see it contains sales tax. Besides, it is 100 times better than that 40 year old Nameoki Cinema was.
The theater has nothing to do with jobs being gone. You need to look to our elected officials for that. The last time I went to the theater there were numerous families and a fairly good crowd. The two restaurants downtown were also doing a good business that night, another indicator that the theater is drawing folks downtown.
