    The core service of exhibition theaters is its ‘full motion picture’, which is crucial to the success of the business as it accounts for 57% of the earned revenue. While the ‘digital pre-show’, which includes trivia and advertisements, has climbed in importance to 26% since its introduction with digital projection technology in early 2005[i], attracting advertisement contracts is reliant on patronship and the quality of the core business. ‘In-lobby entertainment options’ continue to be popular differentiation strategies in the theatre business, but comprise less than 3% of revenues and contribute questionably to the pull of patrons to one specific theatre. Factors such as location, and a desirable movie portfolio have proven to be much more important to attracting customers.…

    In addition to the fact that preferences of consumers appear to be changing as the number of leisure time activities increase, research also suggests that cost issues may also play a significant role in shaping consumer behavior and attitudes toward theme parks and other leisure events. For instance, Zanola reports that ticket prices have played a significant role in shaping consumer behavior with regard to visiting the circus (159). Even though costs for circuses have increased over the course of the last several years, this event is one which provides entertainment at a cost of the fraction of theme parks (160). Families seeking more economic forms of leisure activities may begin to eschew the high costs of theme parks in favor of other venues for their leisure time spending. This issue is one that is of notable concern given the current economic downturn in the US. Increasing costs of theme parks coupled with the inability of consumers to manage the costs may place increased pressure on theme parks to remain the viable choice of consumers for their leisure spending.…

    The arts attract investments: By improving a community’s image, people may feel more confident about investing in that community. So for example, people might be more likely to buy property in an area that they feel is “up-and coming” because of the presence of the arts. Or, banks may be more likely to lend to businesses in areas perceived as more secure and stable, and so on. One problem with determining the impact of the arts is distinguishing between revenue from locals verses revenue from tourists, and among the latter determining the extent to which the arts drew them to visit the community.…
