From superheroes to hobbits, 2012 film releases fuel resurgence at theaters
Chris Johnson wouldn’t guess how many people might line up to get the first look at “The Hobbit.”
But Johnson, vice president of Downers Grove-based Classic Cinemas, which owns the Charlestowne 18 cineplex in St. Charles, believes his theaters will play the movie to full crowds for days.
“This is going to be something special, I think,” Johnson said. “It’s going to lead a strong intro to the holiday, and a strong finish to our year.”
