Answer 2

You should NOT try to force your mom to do anything. You probably don't realize it, but you are being mean to your mom when you pester her about it. How would you like it if your mom asked you why you don't build a skyscraper or a motorcycle, right now?

To answer your question,

There are a lot of things that go into creating a business, and a theater is a business. It may be that your mom does not have the money, or capital, to build a movie theater. To do this would be very expensive (cost a lot of money). In order to do such a thing, she'd need to do a lot of work. It's unrealistic to think your mom can just build a movie theater. There are lots of things that get in the way of putting up buildings and making a theater. It would be a full time job.

She probably can't do any of that right now because she already has a job to put food on the table for the both of you. It's not fair of you to demand your mom build a theater, unless she is extremely wealthy (a billionaire). Is she a billionaire? Do you know how much it costs to survive right now?

To build a theater, she would need to check to see who the owner of the lot is, and if they are willing to sell. It might not be. Then she would need to check the zoning laws of her city to make sure that another theater is allowed to be there. Then she would need to get investors (to get the money for building, city fees, lawyers, maintenance, etc.), lawyers, and engineers to survey the lot. Then she would need to hire an architect to make a plan. She would need to hire accountants to see if the business would make money. The accountants need to figure out how much it would cost to make the building, and what the business would earn based on the population of the city and surrounding area, rival theaters, and demand for a theater. Then your would need to submit a business proposal to the city you live in, and they would decide whether or not they would allow the theater to be built. Usually these things don't go through the first time. There is more, but I think you get the idea by now. This just takes a lot of work and capital to get done, which your mom probably doesn't have.

So, to answer your question, she probably does not have the resources to build a theater, and no - you can't force her to do it, nor should you try. Have you even thought of how your mom feels about it? She has made it clear to you that she doesn't want to run one, so be respectful of that and accept it. She is your mom and you should be nice to her;  she is taking care of you and for that you should be grateful.

Answer 24

uhh building one takes money hard earned cash

Answer 25

Have you heard of fiscal responsibility? That means not only protecting it wisely, but investing it well.

Unless your mom is super rich, forget about it. Even if she is super rich it is her money to spend as SHE wishes, not on what you want.

Answer 26

why don't you just get a pony and hire a private plane...no wait, buy a private plane so you can fly to the top of a rainbow and dance with sun gremlins while throwing money around like Bill Gates on cocaine?

Maybe that was a little long winded...people don't build movie theatres out of the blue...

Answer 27

It takes a lot of money, time, effort, and know-how, and your mother shouldn't have to rebuild a movie theatre just.for.you.

Stop whining and go read a book.

Answer 30
