A bit of a pipe dream but no matter what the Uptown deserves a real chance at a restoration project!!

I just think the demand is beyond there. I don’t think investment cost should be a hindrance here in this market for anyone. Chicagoans will show up.

also know people that wanted to attend the showings of the stuff I went/am going to and couldn’t. So that’s already 1400+ tickets sold alone

Think about how much revenue could be made off of a full blown blockbuster true IMAX spectacle (and not even necessarily on film)

oh you know what I've actually looked at this and thought about getting this before!!! (i think i pivoted and took my own photo for a paint by number that came out like garbage lol)

thanks for the reminder! i'll have to save some cash up!!!

I also don’t want anyone feeling like they’re being duped or anything by this because I’m concerned about the effectiveness of this petition. Thanks!

We’re asking multimillion dollar corps to build one (1) building in the city of Chicago. Please save your money for your own uses or for actually going to the movies (which gives back to the artists)…

*I’d say please don’t feel ANY obligation to pay any money - it just so far it seems the only thing it does is amplify the post on their own website… I don’t super love any sort of ask for money on this….

(I don't recommend giving money to anything - I am not specifically asking for money at all and I don't really understand what change dot org does with it. this is not that kind of campaign at this time. save your money for buying tickets when they build it)

Thanks for the follow! I have details on how we’re trying to make it happen here: sites.google.com/view/chicago...

But so far it’s a small awareness project and mostly me trying to get IMAX’s attention on twitter 🤷‍♀️
