Sony Pictures Buys Alamo Drafthouse

Alamo Drafthouse Cinemas has sold to Sony Pictures Entertainment but will continue to operate its theaters under the brand name

I really hope this is a good thing. I don’t want to see theaters die, but I really hope Sony doesn’t interfere with the things that make Alamo Drafthouse great… I really hope they can rectify the closure of all the DFW locations as well.

  Yeah, this was devastating to me as I am in DFW area and I literally haven’t seen a movie in another theater chain in almost a decade.

    Honestly, I’ve had decent experiences at Studio Movie Grill. That and Alamo are the only theaters I’ve been to in the past 10 years as well.
