That is an extremely vague question... A theater, by definition, a building, part of a building, or outdoor area for housing dramatic presentations, stage entertainments, or motion-picture shows. Amplitheaters, which were popular in Ancient Greece, could hold thousands and thousands of people. Black Box Theaters, which are common today, can be a simple black room with out even so much as a stage, and seating for a very small and intimate audience. However, the average size for a theater today seats 500-2,000 people. (Large Broadway productions, city theater companies, etc.)
The size of the screen varies, however, they are usually around 30-80 feet high and can be up to 75 feet wide. It depends on the size of the theater and whether it is located indoors or outdoors.
i would guess that a movie theater screen would be about 75 feet diagonally but to get an image that big you need space and a projector that is well focused
Movie screen vary dramatically in size. Big theater have bigger screens. I salvaged a 28' wide x 13.5' tall movie screen from an old theater and now offer it for outdoor movie rentals.
the nucleus of a movie theater would have to be the person that runs the theater like the owner.
There aren't any movie theaters now. The only existing movie theater the Chicago Theater that's located on State St near Lake St. It is used for concerts or other entertainment. There used to be the Oriental Theater The State -Lake Theater Michael Todd Theater United Artist Theater The Roosevelt Theater & The Woods
