Could be a great company again someday if they can get out of their own way.

Pros

Caring people, well known brand.

Cons

Structure, too eager to dilute brand even further, high fees kill smaller theaters, which is why so many "institutional" theaters have moved to other PLF brands or left educational programming behind altogether. Went from a bright spot in the cinema world to trying to straddle billion dollar gross Disney films and educational films that put them on the map and are quickly leaving them behind.
