As you're aware, Entertainment Equipment has, from it very beginning, always prided itself on catering to older, independent and historical cinemas. In fact, EEC's website is dedicated to these client/cinemas.
Now, the movement that EEC started over 30 years ago has become a trendy thing for Hollywood elites to spend their time and money on. Both actors and film makers have taken to buying and restoring old cinemas.

Jasonl Reitman, Christopher Nolan, Steven Spielberg, and Quentin Tarantino, just to name several, have taken to investing or buying old cinemas and restoring them. Additionally, communities and townships have joined with local theater owners to fund a revitalization of their 'town's' cinema.
Believe me when I say that the last 3-4 years has been dismal for the small, independent cinemas but they have weathered the storm and not one of the cinemas the EEC services closed. Cinemas need to become 'go-to venues' and offer comedy and live music shows, school graduations, film club meeting, parties, film festivals, etc.
Many cinemas represent what are architecturally significant buildings that were constructed in the period from 1930 to 1980 and they are worth preserving as a reminder of the past.
