Video Games Hit The Big Screen

Posted by timothy on from the why-waste-the-real-estate dept.

Anonymous Coward writes "A movie theatre owner in Logan, Utah is hoping to start a new trend by bringing video games (Halo in this case) to the big screen. The local newspaper in Logan, The Herald Journal has a nice write-up about the success they had. Does anyone else think this could catch on to be successful, especially in college towns?"

    Is the theater really going to make more money doing this than showing a movie?

    It says that "There is a $3 charge for spectators to watch the games.", but that's a far cry from the $7+ they would charge for a movie.

    Who here would actually participate, either player or spectator?
