A slow decline in movie theater ticket sales is quickly showing that having the biggest and best cinema screen or the most eye-popping 3D film experiences no longer cuts it for people looking for entertainment—so CinéBistro is trying something new.
CinéBistro is attempting to lure Netflix lovers out of their North Carolina homes with stadium-style seating arrangements with roomy seats, plus trays so that food can easily be served prior to a film's set screening time. Rather than seeing itself as a movie theater that serves food, CinéBistro's corporate executive chef Isaac Stewart says "We’re restaurant people running a movie theater."
With luxury seating, food menus and immersive screening experiences, CinéBistro is hoping to appeal to a specific type of movie-goer that appreciates the finest food and amenities.
