As optimistic as this sounds, I think there's a couple of problems. Bradley has an advantage that if you go see a movie at that theater, you can stay parked and walk to a wide variety of restaurants. Currently, we only have one viable movie theater, The Paramount. Not too many places that you can walk to from there. Also, people don't go to the movies like they used to. It's getting increasingly hard for movie theaters to stay profitable. One benefit that Bradley has is that theater has been in continuous operation for many many years. You need that kind of consistency to stay viable. AP isn't established itself as a place to go see movies, and I tend to think that getting people to start doing so would be an uphill battle considering the other options already available.
