Mission to recapture Manawatū movie lovers
Hi neighbours,
Silky Otter Cinemas has opened in Palmerston North, eager to woo movie lovers back to the big screen with its stylish surrounds, food service and discount days.
Its chief executive Neil Lambert has lamented that many parents don't take their kids to the pictures any more.
If that's you, what's been the greater turn-off? The price or the experience? Or simply the convenience of streaming services at home?
