Once the center of towns and cities local movie theaters have long been replaced by larger multiplex's and corporations like AMC and Cinemark as the premier location to attend movies. These large chains offer a wide range of features and content that local theaters can't compete with. Especially on their websites where they offer advanced features such as pre ordering tickets and advanced seat reservation with pre ordered concessions. Many local theaters lack the resources or finances to maintain websites that can compete with such features and often only offer the ability to buy general admissions tickets.
