Hi Bonnie,
We don’t don’t have the bank account to be able to do that sort of thing. Sadly, with rare exception (Casablanca, Die Hard, Rocky Horror), people just don’t come out for classic or retro movies. That’s why we don’t do mini-festivals anymore, and that’s why we had to cancel the Kids Club monthly screenings. We didn’t instigate the Company of Fools event, they are renting the theatre and paying the distribution fee for the film. In turn, they sell tickets and keep the box office profits. Doing so went very well for them last time, hence the encore screening.
