Retailtainement means that movie goers no longer have to plan their dinner around 7 or 9:30 p.m. showtimes. If they want to see Titanic, for instance, it may be on five or six screens, with movie times staggered so as show starts every half hour or so. They can linger, then take in a movie, and after they leave the theatre, they can spill out into a mall filled with places to drop into and browse through. 1, record 1, English, - retailtainment
