Theaters Around The World Are Renting Their Screens To Gamers

With movie theater chains globally losing huge amounts of revenue due to the pandemic, many are looking for new ways to make a profit.

In November, a Memphis-based movie theater chain called Malco Theaters started renting out its screens. Now, theaters in South Korea are starting to do the same.

Since November, Malco has been allowing up to 20 people to rent a screen at $100 for two hours or $150 for 3 hours. The company has 36 theaters across Arkansas, Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Kentucky, and the practice has been gaining traction, but not enough. According to Malco VP Karen Melton: "It is gaining traction, and is becoming popular, but nothing is adding to our profitability at this point."
