Did the Town Cinema that was Frank Theater also close? They played Jaws the summer it opened. Saw Tommy here at the Tilton when it was a single screen theater.
That would be awesome for Netflix to run the theater. They actually need to release their films like Amazon Studios do as full length feature films. Until they do, I don’t see the Academy taking them serious and awarding one of their films best picture.
It was the summer of 1967. That was out first year in AC. Prior to that they had The Sound Of Music for two summers. George Hamid kept the theater open all winter because business was so good. That was rare for a boardwalk theater.
They were beyond horrible. It was like sitting in your living room. After seeing The Rose at the Ziegfeld in 70MM than after it transferred here and taking a friend to see it, horrible isn’t even the word.
It is there Vindanpar in the Roadshow disc. It is recorded weird you actually have to go in and choose which audio you want to use, Dolby Digital or DTS and on the Blu Ray menu not the disc menu
Jojoa the previews at the Cinemark here were in scope. I thought that was weird. Yeah I went to You tube after the posts above. A few years back they showed a movie that was filmed in the rare 2.00 in 2.35 aspect ratio.
Status should be open at least until the closing on July 14. I hate that this theater is closing. My post from December 8, 2014 proved correct even though AMC has proven to be just as bad as Carmike in the theaters they took over from Carmike.
If I remember bigjoe59, the day it started was when they advertised now continuous performances. The three NJ theaters I referenced above were never roadshow engagements.
Hello Dolly definitely did. It also did at the Randolph in Philly.If I remember correctly, fox decided to make it continuous showings starting in June of 1970. When it opened at the Virginia in Atlantic City on June 24, 1970 it was continuous performances as was the Ocean in Wildwood, NJ and the Village Theater in Ocean City NJ.

Would love to see the red design marquee converted back to the Midtown marquee.
That’s great Alps. Thanks
My only concern is will it kill what films the Prince shows.

Update Status to open

Sigh
I remember the marquee with Olive on it was Orange. I wonder when they changed it
Oh awesome. I hope this theater does well
For me I think the RPX is a waste of money. Spending the extra money to see bars at the top and bottom of the screen is a waste.
Is this theater still open?

I thought The Lion King Live was 2.35 aspect ratio. All the previews were in scope. UGH
Saw Annie Hall here in 1977

This sounds like a rumor. Howard Haas you go there all the time did you hear this?
When I lived in NYC it was a first run house. Films I saw there were Dressed To Kill, La Cage Au Folles 2.
Cineworld took over this theater?
Do you think this is why Landmark closed the Sunshine?
Was it still a second run house?
