During the morning show on DHA, there is a contest in which if a radio caller names the movie from where a quote is aired, they get free movie tickets to any Clearview cinema. For those who have an Optimum Rewards card and have all three services, free movie nights on Tuesdays are also offered.
This coming Wednesday April 29, the final trailer of the new Transformers movie will be attached to a special IMAX screening of the first one for guests who request tickets by email. Seating is limited. After that’s done, the trailer will be shown before the new X-Men movie, which sadly will not be in IMAX but starting on the night of the 7th, “Star Trek” will be released for two weeks only before Night at the Museum 2 comes out.
For the umpeenth time , the NFL Draft is being held today and tomorrow at this location. Erin Andrews from ESPN will be working for the first time at this storied venue, where the auditorium seats have been replaced with team tables while the stage is all NFL-style billboards.
The last DP movie I saw at a Clearview (the one in Hackettstown) was Tropic Thunder and the sound levels were good, but not bombastic like the AMC in Rockaway. Projection was good but not up to par like the Blu-Ray version.
Probably some of the screens showing the movies are closed for installation of the projectors on each screen. Wayne has showtimes that are available and so is Meadow Six and Ridgefield Park. How about the Paramus theater, which has only two screens with Digital projection (2k)?
I got an email from AMC that’s a printable coupon; $3 off a large popcorn when I pay to see “The Soloist”, the first movie from Robert Downey Jr. since Tropic Thunder that also stars Samuel L. Jackson. They had the huge poster outside for some time now, as the movie was supposed to come out last winter but was delayed.
Just in time for Earth Day, the feature film adaptation of “Planet Earth” arrives at this theater tomorrow, although the movie came out elsewhere around the world two years ago. I noticed on the AMC website that some of the showtimes for tomorrow’s movies are grayed out; I wonder if that has to do with the digital projection installation that I hope will happen once I see the new “X-Men” movie.
Yet another movie theater in NJ closing its doors. It seems that all the only theaters that are still thriving are the modern megaplexes, as is the case with the Paramus theaters that competed with the Hyway 5. I grew up in that area and my dad went to that theater back when he used to live in Fair Lawn.
Could someone post a schedule of which market gets it first? The rollout will be slow, but in three years all of AMC’s theaters will not show film anymore.
This past weekend was down compared to last week, but it was up a lot from last year. This weekend will be a down week before the summer box office heats up with Wolverine.
I agree with you. Variety is like the Fox News of entertainment news. I usually check out indie sites like Film Tech and Cinematour to scout industry news. BTW, I hope digital projection gets installed just in time for the new X-Men movie and the first 3-D movie of the summer, Battle for Terra, which looks interesting.

The closest Cinemark theater, and the only one in NJ that will be affected by the merger, is in Somersdale, NJ and like Rockaway, is a 16 plex.
Here in Rockaway, tickets are not selling well because the prices are higher than that of Clearview, plus the fact that the theater is near a mall that is struggling with weak retail sales.
Unlike 35mm, computers will have bugs. Imagine what would happen if an error screen popped up during a 4k screening of “Star Trek” or if there are pixelation issues or sound sync issues with the showing. That’s the downside of digital projection vs 35mm. Another issue could be a massive computer worm like the Conficker virus that would infect the 4k systems and the theater would be closed for a computer checkup during the off hours. Recently AMC’s profit was down as audiences went to cheaper theaters.

probably before the New Brunswick theater opened, as this theater didn’t have stadium seating.
Great photo, Lost Memory. The two movies that played there back in the summer was “Used Cars” in theater #1 and “Empire Strikes Back” in theater #2.
I checked again and showtimes are available for purchase online again for all movies for today.
One or two of these movies can also be played on two screens.
Probably some of the screens showing the movies are closed for installation of the projectors on each screen. Wayne has showtimes that are available and so is Meadow Six and Ridgefield Park. How about the Paramus theater, which has only two screens with Digital projection (2k)?
Currently on the theater’s fandago ticket site, tickets aren’t available to purchase online.

that’s nice to hear, although it’s not heavily advertised on tv as much as Wolverine or Star Trek.

Just wait until summer starts…that’s when the real action heats up.

if this theater is affected, then AMC will have a huge hold on the South Jersey market.
