Tampa I Am visits the Britton 8 and reports that it is now a “dollar” theater (actually a $2 theater) and, in addition to the traditional Hollywood fare, also shows Bollywood movies.
Tampabay.com has more of the story.
“The Britton 8 quietly reopened last week with second-run movies for $2 and concessions that sell candy, popcorn and sodas for the same price or less. It also devoted one of the movie’s eight theaters to brand-new Indian movies, catering to Bollywood fans and the area’s growing South Asian population. Those films cost $10.”
This is awesome. It would be even awesomer if they did more international films, and awesomer still if they ran some movies out of Nollywood.
This was the only theater that still carried BRUNO last week and since my sister was in town, and wanted to see it, we found it. This place is great: cheap, empty and without explanation. Everything I love about Tampa Bay.
Ha! "Cheap, Empty and Without Explanation" would be a great title for something.
