Couldn't be that expensive, and you could rotate quickly through them.
I've thought that weekday matinees should be done like this for a while. Things that would be great to see on a big screen.

A few weeks after reopening we did a combo of Grease and Dirty Dancing which drew a lot of women, especially for the later as they all wanted to see Patrick Swayze. Another weekend that did well was a combo of "ET" and "Jaws".
