Because they refuse to show Fahrenheit 9/11 in their theater.

That's *alot* of money to turn down to try to censor this movie.

1. A lot of people would do well to wake up to the fact...
that this country is divided at least 50-50, and one of the 50s is not being served.

2. not that it matters...
but I thought theatres didn't make much if any money from the sale of tickets and made most if not all from the concessions? Dunno...just something I heard once...

3. They're still losing money then.
Because all these people are going to a differant theater and spending their 20$ there.

4. They Can't Buy Stuff If They're Not In The Theatre
A big mistake on the Managers' part.
