The Theatre Entertainment Network is a new program from Marcus Theatres where they will show old movies, sporting events, independent films, concerts, and other entertainment offerings that are not typically shown in movie theaters. Upcoming events include screenings of Fast Times at Ridgemont High, the Mayweather/Canelo boxing event, and a Def Leppard concert, among others. I love this idea, especially the idea of seeing old movies in the movie theater again!
