Alamo prices - $10 for ticket - $6 BOTTOMLESS popcorn - $4 BOTTOMLESS soda - $2.50 Pabst - $6.50 margarita
...and a full reasonably priced food menu

THAT is a business model that can survive.

Those are the actual prices I paid to see The Hobbit just three days ago at a chain theater in the DC suburbs. Compared to that,

Yep. The big chains are already losing a ton of ground here in Texas. Alamo/Studio Movie Grill/Movie Tavern and taking over.

Good.

Next time I'm in Austin, whenever that is, drinks and tickets are on me. Double if they're showing a Chiefs game.

They also have a bunch of dates where comedians like Greg Proops and Doug Benson host a viewing any craft either a comedy set or history 'lesson' around the movie they choose.

Doug calls them Benson Interruptions, basically his version of MST3K with a couple of comedian friends.
