'lt's Going Away': A Small Movie Theater Struggles to

Survive

1. On a rainy day last week, 72 moviegoers visited
2. the Park Plaza Cinema in Hilton Head lsland, S.C., to
3. see Liam Neeson in "Honest Thief." lt was the largest
4. single-day attendance the independently owned five-
5. screen theater had seen since reopening in August
6. after a five-month shutdown. The feeling of celebration
7. was short-lived. The next day, only 22 people showed.
8. Park Plaza, like movie theaters big and small
9. around the country, has been decimated by the
10. pandemic. After its long closure, it has established
11. social-distancing protocols and installed new air
12. filtration systems. lt has tried initiatives like curbside
13. popcorn sales. But the efforts have not been enough to
14. offset the larger trends upending moviegoing, namely
15. that many people still don't seem inclined to return to
16. theaters in large numbers and that Hollywood, with no
17. audience to speak of, has pushed off most major
18. releases until next year.
19. "We are an industry that is part of the fabric of
20. America, and it's going away," said Lucie Mann, who
21. owns and runs the theater with her husband, Larry. "lf
22. we don't get aid soon, it's going to change forever "
23. The pandemic has brought national theater
24. chains like AMC to the brink of bankruptcy. lt has
25. been just as unsparin􀂕 with establishments like the
26. Manns', one of 602 independent owners in the United
27. States with just one or two locations. Although
28. accounting for only 12 percent of the total theaters in
29. the country, these independent operations are often
30. in smaller communities, providing movies to
31. communities sometimes ignored by the major chains.
32. After shutting its doors in March, Park Plaza received
33. a Paycheck Protection Program loan in April for
34. \$47,000 to cover labor and overhead costs. That,
35. plus a slew of private events, sustained the Manns
36. through the summer. [ ... ].
