>> for almost as long as movie theaters have been around, they have been threatened. first it was tv than the vcr but each time, movie theater strike back with things like imax3d and now this -- big old seats. amc is renovating its status as ripping out the older, smaller seats reducing capacity by 54%. the attendance is up 84%. you have power reclining. i can put my drink here and you guide your armrest. it's cozy. why are they doing this? to make more money and is working. if you go back to 1995, the movie theater industry hadtotal. revenuesof $5.3 billion today,
