Franchise Opportunity
Movie theaters have been around for decades, but they haven't really changed much. Sure, the technology has gotten better and you can now order food and drinks to your seat, but the experience is still pretty much the same as it was when your grandparents were young. Not only are movie theaters expensive, but they're also becoming increasingly irrelevant. With Netflix, Hulu, and other streaming services available at home, who wants to spend $15-20 on a ticket plus snacks? ALAMO DRAFTHOUSE CINEMAS offers a unique movie theater experience that can't be found anywhere else. Our theaters feature first-run movies along with an in-house restaurant and bar serving up delicious food and drinks. Plus, we offer reserved seating so you can choose your favorite spot in the theater ahead of time.
