That reminds me of an idea for a business I had about a year ago... (not something I'd do, just an idea I had). Set up a bunch of small movie rooms (think deluxe home-theater setup) of varying sizes, and rent out the rooms for "dinner and a movie". Restaurant quality food served while viewing new release movies (or older DVD's) with a special friend, or a group of buddies. Time limits would be complicated if you allowed pause / rewind, but the logistics could be worked out I'm sure. The biggest problem I would see is the price point... to make such a business viable you would have to charge a significantly high price. Partnering with a neighboring restaurant or two might be necessary for the sake of profitability while being affordable.
