While I don't have a personal corporate need to rent out multiple movie theaters to give a presentation, the idea is intriguing, at least for domestic businesses. It's a win for the theaters if the meetings are held during the morning hours when movies are not shown, and may also be lucrative during the afternoon hours.
However, this seems to lend itself better to some events than to others. I can watch a webcast on my computer, which involves no travel time (and I can buy popcorn from the machines in the cafeteria if I so desire). But a meeting in a movie theater would be ideal for a capital E Event where you want to bring people together and create a sense of shared excitement.
