Atlantic Plumbing Cinema

Landmark Theatres opened this 6 screener October 15, 2015 with “Steve Jobs” on all screens at 8th Street NW & V Street NW in the U Street corridor of the Shaw neighborhood of Washington DC. The building also houses residential condominiums. The theater lobby has a full service bar. This is a the second Landmark multiplex for “art” films in D.C., as the E Street Cinema downtown was the 1st.

Auditoriums are reserved seating, with luxury, leather seats, seating capacities that range from 44 to the mid-50’s, and Dolby 7.1 surround sound. Movie projectors drop down from a recess, rather than being in a projection booth.

I haven’t yet been hear to see a movie, but wouldn’t the drop down projector’s create an audible (annoying) noise during the movie?

Giles, please go see a movie there, take photos for the photo gallery, and tell us whether you hear the projector, and if not, why not.

I was aware this place existed but its nowhere I’d like to go to in DC. No one has visited here, yet? I imagine its like the other Landmarks.

I agree with you, David. An interesting name. One I would have not chosen. Perhaps, the building was a landmark (pardon the pun) for a plumbing company… now long gone? :)

Perhaps more interesting is this cinema is currently showing all mainstream movies, not a single “art” movie.

Outside of cooling fans, today’s digital projectors do not have an audible sound. The “drop down” systems are becoming quite common.

This was the former Atlantic Plumbing building, renovated into condos and a movie theater, hence the name.
