Title of idea: Movie Theme Restaurant Chain

We want to incorporate a moderately priced movie theme restaurant inside
newly built movie theater complexes or adjacent to existing ones.
The theme of the restaurant changes periodically according to what the current
"blockbuster" is at the time.

*The Restaurant
  -Type of theme (typical, but would be new movies)
        - Jurassic Park
        -Titanic
        -Sci-Fi (more encompassing)
           -Godzilla
           -Starship Troopers
  -Menu changes to parallel the current theme.
  -Restaurant employees wear applicable costumes
  -Original sets and props from the movie are used in the restaurant.
  -Could also open a small bar in the restaurant.
  -Celebrity appearances possible
  -Provides a new type of movie atmosphere for movie-goers to socialize.
*The theme would be chosen very carefully
  -Would open 1-2 weeks before the premier of the movie.
  -The life of the theme would be determined by its popularity, but I expect
   theme lifespans to last 2-3 months.
*The restaurant would be very dynamic, able to change to suit the needs and
desires of movie-goers.
*The Potential
  -The movie theater industry is rapidly growing.
  -Once a prototype site is built, others can follow and has the potential for
   becoming a large restaurant chain.
*Takes advantage of the fact that families, dating couples, and friends often
  go out to eat the same night as they are planning to see a movie.
*Planet Hollywood is an obvious competitor, however, the dynamic nature of the
  ever-changing theme would attract repeat customers.
*We have the location advantage over traditional restaurants and will be priced
   competitively with fast food chains.
*Need 1 or 2 people interested in the entertainment/restaurant/film industry
  -Finance/accounting
  -Ambitious researchers
