Hollywood studios could force a historic Chicagoland movie theater to close! Movie lovers can help save The Catlow.
The Hollywood movie studios are committed to reducing their movie production and distribution costs by eliminating the use of film. Very soon, every movie theater in the country will either have converted their film projection systems to the new digital format or they will be out of business with no movies to show. The message from the movie companies to small theaters like ours is clear: "Go digital or go dark." Hollywood’s edict means the 85-year old Catlow Theater must upgrade its audio and visual equipment at a cost of at least $100,000. The multiplexes and large chains are getting substantial discounts for their digital conversions. They are not! They intend to stay in business, but well need a lot of support from those who love movies and who appreciate historic movie houses like The Catlow.
