Movie theater patrons
Movie theater patrons arrive for a showing at the JEM Theatre in Harmony Friday, Aug. 19, 2011. The theater may have to close its doors because movie studios are slowly moving from using 35mm film to using digital systems. The cost to smaller theaters such as the JEM could be too costly for the theaters to update their systems, leaving owners to close them.
