I'm thinking about taking a date to one this Friday night, but can't find any information on how they work. When to show up? What kind of meal? etc.. etc...

Taking dinner and a movie to a whole new level, suburban Framingham?s Premium is the Boston area?s first luxury cinema strictly for the 21-and-over crowd. What pampered viewers get is their own intimate screening room with a living room atmosphere complete with leather lounge chairs and their own private table, free popcorn, a concierge and lounge, coat check, and access to the Premium Bistro restaurant, which serves gourmet food and specialty cocktails

Sounds kind of like the Arclight in Los Angeles:

- $14 per ticket
- Reserved seating
- Gourmet food in concession stand (i.e. sausages, caramel corn, etc)
- Full service restaurant in airport-terminal sized lobby
- Martini bar
- Best screens and sound system in LA

Also, weekly Q&A with famous directors, special showings of classic movies. Love that theater.

I think it's a bit more than what you're describing. It's supposed to be a meal, then the show in a leather lounge chair with bartenders serving drinks. I can't find any damn info about it, though, except showtimes!

Sounds awesome, but I've not gone to one. I've thought for a while that a lot of people would pay a premium if they had a special seating section of nice seats - recliners. I guess this is kind of like that. I rock. I could have made it huge if I'd just applied my idea!

:confused:

I'm sure the sausages are battered in cornmeal dough and come on a stick. Very posh.

I'm talking about fresh made caramel corn and Jody Maroni's sausage sandwiches at the CONCESSION STAND compared to the burnt, shriveled weiners and over-greased nasty popcorn at most theaters. I'd consider that "gourmet" compared to the norm.

And there's also, like I said, a FULL RESTAURANT in the theater.
