If You Owned a Movie Theater, What Rules/Perks Would You Have?

It is well known that theaters make very little off of the films itself and make their money at the concessions. What would you offer? Would you have ushers make sure customers don't pay for a 2d movie only to walk into a 3d one by walking them to their seat? New security in place in light of the Batman Massacre? Make them sign a form when handed their ticket that states we have a right to throw you out if we see your phone?

I'm sure patrons would love that greasy smell in the air.

Beer and chicken, would make so much money

A piece of equipment that automatically silences your phone as you walk through the theater doors. If you turn it back on then you are asked to leave.

Full bar and restaurant inside, taking dinner and movie to whole other level.
Instead of buying tickets to see a cheesy movie in re-released in 3D you could buy tickets to watch a cheesy movie re-released with the RiffTrax applied to it.
ETA Hell maybe just go ahead and model a theater after the Satellite of Love

This already exists. It's called the Alamo Drafthouse and its awesome. They also play lots of classic movies, all genres and decades.

Well in that case, looks like I need to put it on my to do list next time I'm around Austin or Houston.

I thought of another million dollar idea last weekend when I was at the theater. I guess I can share it..
Theater-specific bathrooms with TV monitors in them so you don't really miss anything if you have to piss. Should be pretty easy to police too (to keep people from just setting up shop in there and watching).

All seats are wired with tazers. After the "please turn off your phone" message on the screen, if the seat senses an active phone, you're arse gets tazered in to unconsciousness.
There would also be a sound meter that would zap you if it detected talking above a whisper or loud candy wrapper rustling and popcorn chomping.
Baby crying would cause death by electrocution.

Damn.... That is a pretty good idea.
How about childcare on premises? Just a decent playroom with adults to watch your kids while you take in a flick.

Mind blown. Great Idea.
And they have several theaters that serve beer and food. Studio Movie Grill in north Dallas is another example. As far a signing a waiver about no cell phones all you have to do is put it on the fine print of the ticket. No need to sign anything.

I had to piss during This is the End, but I can usually hold it during movies. So afterwards I was pissing and was thinking "Man, if they'd just have a fricking monitor in here I wouldn't have had to hold it for so long... *lightbulb*"

A smoking room, and I would charge the average price of a pack of smokes on top of ticket price. I would gladly pay this.

They have an app for that called runpee. Don't know if they have updated but it tells you the best time to take a piss during a movie.

I had to piss during this is the end too and ended up just holding it
Damn that was a great piss

I would start my movies on time.
For instance, I went to a 120-minute movie, scheduled for 5:10, yesterday. I had a dinner meeting at 7:30. What I didn't factor into the equation, though, was the 23 minutes of previews. The movie didn't start until 5:33, and I ended up having to choose between missing the end of the movie and being late for dinner.
That would not happen in my theater.
