Is the use case of "people who are looking for a city to drive to to watch a movie" really that big?

Yes. I live in the Ruhrgebiet, which is essentially a giant area of mid-sized cities, connected by a fantastic train network. The time to a neighbor city cinema is more or less the same than to my own. And I was looking for a place that plays the english version of LOTR for years now.
Seems like it would be useful for movies that are in limited release.
"to drive to"? This is Germany, we have (very unreliable) public transport :)
A lot of people stil drive in Germany. Public transportation can't cover everyone's use case.
