This is potentially a very good idea.  The real key will be getting the word
out: good promotion.

You might want to get in touch with Chris Condon.

Chris operated a 3-D revival theater here in the Los Angeles area a few
years ago, and I am sure that he can give you some pointers on such an
operation, maybe even work with you on it.

If you are interested, let me know, and I will send a personal e-mail
directly to you with his phone numbers.
