Positions offered include Hourly Managers, and a variety of crew members, all requiring "a passion for film."
It will be interesting to see if the theater will have a more active staff than the typical cineplex of today, where ushers rarely monitor what's going on in the theaters anymore. Which is a pretty dangerous situation for patrons, especially in this day and age.

Any idea on when iPic might open? I know they're hiring at Del Frisco's Grille ... Training starts the first week of September.
Aren't we ashamed we let poor people in this county?
8:21 - Experts also suggest avoiding hyperoveranalysis of every sentence of a blog post.
Robert,
Have you ever been in a theater in which an unsafe thing happened?
Robert,
I wonder ... should your sentence be edited to "in" a blog post, instead of "of" a blog post?
4:29 Yes. And there have been plenty of stories in the news far worse. People locking theater doors, throwing explosive devices. Do you follow the news on current events? I'm surprised anyone would even be questioning the importance of theater security after the The Dark Knight Rises incident.
7:07 AM - I refer you to my comment at 4:16 above. And to a grammar handbook.
"I'm surprised anyone would even be questioning the importance of theater security after the The Dark Knight Rises incident."
Yes, because movie theaters are getting shot up left and right. Oh, wait. That happened once in the history of movie theaters.
That's like one of a billion. Get real Dyer.
And like a movie theater staffer is going to stop a lunatic with a machine gun. GET REAL DYER.
7:25 - That was only the most extreme case. I'd enjoy sitting in on a conversation between you and Governor O'Malley and Lt. Gov. Brown, in which you lay out your argument that theaters have no reason to take measures to maintain a safe environment for patrons. And then they respond to your statements on camera. Fascinating discussion.
Everywhere has reason to take safety measures Dyer. Theaters do (emergency exits, security cameras, the concept of paying for a ticket to gain entrance) and 99.99999999 percent of the time, theaters are safe.
That's the point. To suggest that theaters, above some other settings, need more security and that a couple of hourly employees are going to provide that security is beyond irrational.
Actually, it's quite rational. Had ushers checked the emergency exit doors in Colorado right before the movie started (as I recall them doing years ago at area theaters here), they would have found the shooter had left one ajar. If they'd locked that door, the tragedy would have been entirely averted. Join me in taking the rational, common sense approach to public safety. No panic or full body scan necessary. Just standard procedures like checking doors could have prevented a massacre in Colorado.
I imagine folks who need help and go to these extremes would find an alternative plan if the door was locked.
7:33 AM - With the whole get up he had on, and the weapons, the only reason he was successful was that he had access from the back door. That came from poor monitoring by the theater, and failure to check the exit doors before the movie started.
