Mississippi's Capital City Doesn't Have a Movie Theater. Will That Ever Change?
The city has been struggling to recruit one since 2009.
Heading to a movie theater on Christmas Day has become a tradition for many American families, and Hollywood has responded by loading the holiday with big releases.
But if you’re a resident of Jackson, Mississippi, you would have had to leave the city limits to catch the opening of Django Unchained or Les Misérables. There hasn’t been a movie theater in the state’s capital since the 20th century. The last of the city’s theaters closed, with a whimper, in the late 1990s.
