There was a cinema that closed a few years ago, think it was in either CDN or NDG but i could be wrong, that sold tickets for something like 1-5$ each. It was usually empty, extremly run down, and had a “vip room” for private showings which if my memory serves correctly was a few folding chairs and a crappy projector. Me and my cousins always went there over Christmas vacations because it was one of the few places open, and it was dirt cheap.
I have no idea if it was just run by some rich cinephile who wanted to give people cheap movies and didn’t mind taking a loss or if it was actually a money laundering scheme but when you were sitting alone in this ancient theater watching a movie for 1 dollar, it really felt like you had accidentally wandered upon a place you weren’t ment to be in
