Hmmm, well, I think some movies could have potential appeal to non-desi audiences, but I think they'd be a small number. Don't you think if they genuinely make the moviegoing experience a good one (clean the cinemas, serve appealing snacks, have some special prices for tickets) and get the word out to the community, they could bring in larger number of people (desis)? Though, if the lackluster box office returns we've seen so far this year are any indication, it will be a dismal picture... (PS - Chris Noth's character is referred to as "Big" in SATC.) Hey Joseph,

The actual functioning of these theatres that is.But I do wonder of the long-term profitability of such an enterprise.I think that the only way that it can work is if B/k/T/ollywood can actually draw mainstream American American Audiences to its movies(And I'm not talking about the art-house crowd at the Sunshine Theater).And obviously that can never happen until the subtitling improves(I still can't believe that they release Tamil/Telegu movies w/o subtitles outside India!)
