Instruction manual
1
Decide which movie theater you want to build. If you are interested in a comprehensive screening of a movie premiere, then you can become part of one of the major franchises, such as A-List or Alamo Drafthouse. They have special rules about which buildings you can use, how the business should start, and what the starting capital is. However, they will need a share of the profit from your movie theater. In exchange for this, they will provide you with the latest films and train you in effective work.

Prepare a list of the necessary things that will be necessary for the organization of cinema halls. Make sure you have enough space to place seats and screens, advertising stands, ticket offices for selling tickets and accessories in the form of toilets, projectors, popcorn machines, computers with access to a movie distributor, and regular deliveries of light snacks to the buffet.

Agree on a loan loan with a bank or other lending institution. You will need to familiarize them with your financial plan, as well as demonstrate your methods of cinema advertising and profit from the business.
