How I think movie theaters should boost attendance

Okay, so you have the new big top-grossing movie now, Hunger Games, about tweenagers in the indeterminate future forced to fight to the death. Independent theaters should cash in and show the Japanese cult film, Battle Royale, the story of tweenagers forced to fight to the death.

Titanic is coming out again, a 3D version----they can show any of the myriad Titanic movies, such as A Night to Remember or Raise the Titanic, or even that Nazi-era German Titantic movie.

Just like the old days. Bonnie & Clyde hit the theaters, so Roger Corman produced the Great Depression-oriented Mama series---Bloody Mama, Crazy Mama, and Big Bad Mama. And Big Bad Mama II.

When the movie Pearl Harbor came out, they should have shown I Attacked Pearl Harbor, the Japanese side of the story.

When Saving Private Ryan came out, they could have shown Come and See, the Soviet war movie Spielberg shamelessly ripped off. If they wanted to show something in English, A Bridge Too Far or something.

Fatal Attraction, they could show Play Misty For Me. Gran Torino--Death Wish 4. The Bourne Identity--Three Days of the Condor.

I don't know. Just a suggestion.
