hey so for school i have to write a grant for a musuem. and in my museum i was thinking about putting in a small cinema theatre just a one screen with a 100 seats. i don't know what measurements or price ranges i'm looking at. i did look into seating it was about 69,000 is that a decent price range? how much are screans? and concession stands? any suggestions or information will help a lot!

If you go used, look at 40 - $60,000 for sound, projection and screen. Another 5-10 for concession depending on amount of equipment.. Once youve figured all of your costs, add 30% and youll be close.. Good luck with your project.

I have a completed business plan for converting a retail space into an 80 seat mini-cinema. The total cost less the remodeling is $67,000. All the equipment and seats is/are used/reconditioned. The screen is new.

hey thanks you guys that helps a lot if you have any other suggestions that would be great!! i have one more question though, what would be the measurements and spacing for one hundred cinema seats? and about what screen size of screen would i want to use ?

A screen 12' x 28' should be adequate. Seats are usually placed 36" to 40" back to back and vary in width from 20" to 24". The first row is usually placed double the screen height back from the screen.
