Even with those limitations, in the 289 weeks we've been open, for 78 of those weeks, the State Theatre has been the #1 grossing theater in the country for the movie we happen to be showing. We've placed in the top 10 grossing cities for 171 of those weeks (the other cities on that list are usually New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, D.C., Dallas, Boston, etc.).
So how in the name of trees that are right height does this happen?

The State is awesome, and very popular, and very giving to the local community.

Then, just an observation that this theater is on Front Street in Traverse City, Michigan, a city of about 16,000 (more during tourist seasons), and across the street from Grand Traverse Bay off of Lake Michigan.
It is a beautiful area.
