Harry Kollatz, senior writer with Richmond Magazine, recently posted an online piece built around an interview with Ben Moss, one of the owners of Bow Tie Cinemas. Bow Tie is opening the 17 theater Movieland Cinema on North Boulevard at the end of February; North Richmond News also recently posted an article on Bow Tie Cinemas. Here’s a bit from the Kollatz piece:
Having show business in their blood, the Mosses know that one key to success is giving the people what they want.
This includes 3-D movies. Technology has changed the nature of 3-D; instead of the old days of two projectors running in sync and hokey cardboard glasses, today there’s special digital projection and plastic, reusable sunglasses-style specs. According to Moss, there’s high interest among studios, which have no fewer than a dozen 3-D films in the project pipeline.
As for foreign or art films that may or may not be mainstream hits, again, Moss said, if the Richmond audience clamors for them, Bow Tie can get them. “We’re going to take that opportunity to show films that are smaller, more independent in nature, and give them a home and let Richmonders see things here. What basically happens, a lot of these smaller films open slowly, open in New York and Los Angeles to build word of mouth. We’re not in control of timing. But what we can and will do, in the greater area, is provide a home for these films.”
