Ok, here's my problem with the movie theatre industry. There's 100+ years of fantastic historical content and we're not doing anything with it. 99% of what's shown in theaters is new releases. I understand we don't want to "go stale" as a society and that movie producers also need to make a living, but the balance is just way off. I would pay good money to see "the good the bad and the ugly" with my kids in a couple…

Isn't the point to play games and being able to login to most sites these days? It also gives you backup internet..

The smaller independent theaters near me tend to do more of this sort of thing. The one near me is doing an entire month of a Samurai movies. Also Month Python and the Holy Grail, and War of the Worlds (2005). All their first run movies tend to be independent ones. Not saying that chains shouldn't rerun old movies, just saying those types of theaters do exist. It's the only way I can truely get a movie theater experi…
> an entire month of samurai movies Man, that is awesome. When my wife and I first started dating, our date nights consisted of going and seeing all of the harry potter movies as they were being re-shown in a local theater. We bought the expensive seats and this theater served food/beer with the movie, which made it that much more fun. I wish more theaters would adapt their business model do to stuff like this- I'd L…

Sure. Here's Home Depot: https://i.imgur.com/bqoV3LI.png Here's Cabela's: https://i.imgur.com/SLsba42.png BTW, I should note that this is showing weekly visits (and the same is true for the AMC chart). Again, this is Jan 2017 through July 4, 2021.
Can you aggregate multiple locations? I am interested in Apple stores.
Try something like https://shop.safegraph.com/?brands=SG_BRAND_aa55d5b692887ce4... and choose their Patterns dataset.

You can watch all these anytime on streaming - why do you need a cinema to see them?
