Cinemart Cinemas at risk of closing

In an age of large corporations governing the movie industry and films customarily available on DVD, Netflix, and Movies On Demand, independent theater owners in particular need to have a gimmick in order to lead a successful business.
At first, single-screen theaters shuttered, and now some multiplexes are vanishing at a fast rate. Forest Hills and Rego Park have witnessed the closure of the Trylon, the Forest Hills, the Drake and, most recently, the Continental (UA Brandon).
Now the historic Cinemart Cinemas, located at 106-03 Metropolitan Avenue, is at risk of joining that list if the community does not lend their support. To increase the Cinemart’s viability, owner Nicolas Nicolaou is open to public input.
Not long after Nicolaou renovated the five-screen theater in the early 2000s and introduced the Theater Café with its bar, cozy fireplace, and sidewalk café, the realities behind the movie industry shifted.
“The major Hollywood studios cut off any first-run movies to our independently owned theater eight years ago, and we have been operating at a loss,” said Nicolaou. “Our community deserves an upscale first-run facility. We should not have to travel away from our area to watch a movie, and also deserve having choices.

the final phase 🙂 I deal with such info much. I was seeking this certain info for a very long time.
Thanks and best of luck.
First of all I would like to say great blog! I had a quick question that I’d like to ask if you do not mind.
I was curious to find out how you center yourself
and clear your head before writing. I have had a tough time
clearing my mind in getting my ideas out.
I truly do take pleasure in writing but it just seems like
the first 10 to 15 minutes are lost simply just trying to figure
out how to begin. Any recommendations or tips?
Many thanks!
