How can running a theater for you and seven other liberal arts majors be a good business. Ok, maybe a fun/interesting sort of good, but not a profitable "my kid can afford those braces now" kind of good.
Also, location matters. SF, CHI, NY, and others have great art houses that play amazing films and documentaries. Truth be told, there's NetFlix, the internet, and tv to compete with now days. Theaters are great, but are becoming a novelty for many (I try to go once a week, but I live in a town where an independent movie is Lars and the Real Girl, so Im limited).
Also, documentaries are worth watching mostly because they are created by those with a passion of objective journalism or unobstructed observation. Sadly, I believe if they became profitable we would have fat millionaires taking on legitimate arguments that need to be addressed and invalidating them with skewed editing and personal bias.
Still if you want to create this I'll be the first in line with my sack of organic cheese and wheat crackers.
