Here's an experiment: Introduce "stock market" type pricing for movies within a fixed range, ie minimum of $6 max of $20. With a limited number of seats per theater, limited supply already exists so the more ticket purchases for a movie means higher prices. People already offer similar solutions for night clubs and bars, see http://www.thedrinkexchange.com/ as an example.
Heck, you could even bake in movie "IPOs" and make it a game. New movie ticket prices come out a week before launch and go up or down depending on the number of people buying tickets in advance.
Combine kickstarter with retro movie night. When enough people sign up to see some classic movie in the theater again, it comes online and gets scheduled. Then you show up and watch it with a bunch of people who want to see the same movie, too.
Back to the Future was in theaters for one weekend about two years ago. Imagine being able to do that same thing but with other movies on demand. Being able to see some things on the big screen that I missed the first time around would be nice.
