Thanks a lot for your input. I'm struggling with the monetization issue though. Namely:

What type of pricing model can we offer movie theater companies? Monthly fee? One-time lump sum for each theater? I'm not sure how that would work.

Forget pricing model for now. They are big companies so you can basically charge whatever you want if there is a need.

Focus on figuring out if there is a pain.

I remember reading that some company had built this on springwise or sprouter weekly. But it was a hardware device which had to be installed in the theater so you could beat them by price.

Bottom line: Write up a proposal (4 slides of how this will be used) and then hammer linkedin to get an interview with someone who is slightly executive at a movie theater. Do like 10 interviews. You'll know by then if there is a pain.

Also research that company I mentioned above.
