Generally it isn’t worth a theatres time or money to show a classic movie, simply because there isn’t enough interest in a random classic film to buy a ticket and fill a theatre. However in many cities you can often find theatres that do replay classic films, typically following some theme or logic, which build enough of a following that they came close to filling the theatre.
