After what this grossed expect as a minimum a single long feature films to close out the storyline. Maybe more than one even.

We have a local theater that shows Walking Dead live every Sunday that it's on. Since they can't charge admission, it's first come first serve or you can reserve a seat by buying a drink ticket (it's a drafthouse-style theater that serves local microbrews and wine). It's their biggest money making event and the line regularly wraps around the block. It isn't a huge theater, nor does it have a huge screen, but things like this are huge for them.

I assume that the AMC theater chain and TV channel have the same owners? If so, it'd be pretty obvious marketing.

.The pilot of TWD is one of the most cinematic things I've ever seen on TV. Hey, if it gets more viewers and sells more Super 16 film stock, I'm OK with it getting released theatrically
. As for the rest of the show, I don't think it looks as drab and flat as some TV, but I wouldn't really describe it as cinematic. It has a very rough feel, but it's obviously designed for the small screen. That said, fans would almost certainly turn out to see episodes on the big screen, so it might be good for business.

AMC theaters = American Multi-Cinema
AMC channel = American Movie Classics [genre now deemphasized]
I saw the first episode of last season in a corporate auditorium (maybe about 30 rows of seats), so smaller than a movie theater but way bigger than my TV. I'd be in for more of that.

Has any theater chain ever been owned by a global conglomerate in the modern era? I'm guessing there'd be some anti-trust or governmental thing if something like that happened.
In the early days of cinema I know Paramount of Fox had their own theaters.
