that is what I tried to tell him. Gringos are not going to sit in a theater for 2-4 hours watching a movie. Now we might do it once a week, the way Rockys does it . But there is no way to sustain a commercial theater off the gringo market.
yes locals need a theater but will they spend enough each day to pay for expenses. I doubt it.
Even in the USA, a solid consumer economy, most theaters rely totally on concessions to make a profit. So now he has to count on Dominicans both coming every day and then buying food.
In rio de janeiro the theaters cater to upper middle class locals. There has to be a large population in that category. We all know sosua is not in that category.
i was not trying to burst his bubble but sometimes guys think they can just come down here and takeover.
