Emagine Entertainment, which started in 1989 with just one screen and 265 seats, currently operates 28 theaters in four states. How did they do it?
Our founder, Terri Lee Chandler, spoke with Paul Glantz, Emagine's co-founder and chairman, to find out.
Their very enlightening conversation is the topic of the latest episode of Terri's podcast, Terri Talks Movies. You can check it out here!
