Good news is they’ve signed a lease with a new operator! (Unnamed but they operate several theaters throughout the country….I have a guess….)

On May 19th 2013 this theater will shut down due to Clearviews sale to Bowtie. After that only clifton commons is left.

The largest screen at this theater is straight down the entrace.

50 seats is quite small….how many seats for each auditorium?

Somehow selling out a 50 seat theater is NOT that impressive! The Allwood was a nice single screen neighborhood house, but since then?

I agree. Plus the audience stayed after the main credits for the surprise ending. Advance tickets on sale for Hangover Part II.

Ah, that would do it, Justin. Nice little theater, though – not too many neighborhood cinemas like it left these days

I think it was because of Free Movie Tuesday yesterday, shanahan.

Place was packed for a matinee showing of “Fast Five” yesterday, and parking was a bit tough to find – on a Tuesday afternoon in early May, no less. The seven o'clock showing was sold out. A different movie-going experience from the AMC Clifton Commons, that’s for sure.

$1.75 was uncommon. Harvey, was the projector that showed Dr. Zhivago 70mm or 35mm? Given the size of the theater, it was quite small for a single screen venue compared with the Fabian and the Strand.

Yes, Bob, I would I agree. I, too, used to love the original theater and miss the neighborhood intimacy.

Justin, thanks for the update about the theater. In all honesty, I don’t live in New Jersey anymore, so I enjoy hearing about the Allwood Theater.

We ushers used to cut-up and fool around in the back, when no one was looking. I used to love that area in the back, the buffer between the seats and the exit doors to the parking lot.

The ushers used to get stuck with a lot of odd jobs. We liked lugging the film cannisters upstairs to the projection room because we could spend time with Augie and Gene, the projectionists, who taught us things. We hated emptying the spill tank from the soda machine because it was heavy and tended to slosh on the way to the mens room. One of us, didn’t make it.

The longest running movie from those days was Dr. Zhivago, which we had for three consecutive weeks. The theater charged $1.75, an unheard of price in those days, when weeknight admission was $1.00; weekends, $1.25.

To me, it lost all it’s charm when it was cut up. I live less than a mile away and used to go quite often when it was a single. Since the dividing, I’ve gone once!

I agree Harvey. Seniors still come to this theater more often than in Clifton Commons because of the location and the prices. And thanks to parent company Cablevision’s Free Movie Tuesdays as well as those who use an Optimum Rewards card to save money on buying tickets, this theater will thrive despite being one of the smallest multiplexes I’ve been to in my life.

I used to work at the Allwood Theater. I was an usher from January, 1966 through June, 1967, with so many magical memories and a lifetime of special moments. The theater had one screen in those days and always a local audience, all the regulars, many of them chose the same seat movie after movie. One man always sat one seat in in the very first row, even if rest of the theater was empty.

I grew up in Allwood (the corner of Allwood Road and Orchard Drive). The Allwood Theater will always remain a part of my life.

3D projection now at this theater on one screen.

when it first opened, did this theater have 70mm projection ala cinemascope? And what movie had the longest run at this theater?

looks like edge of darkness is the first movie to be shown in digital projection at this theater. What theater has the digital projection?

back when it was a quad. I lived there during that time, and went there for so many years before Clifton Commons came. While AMC continues to jack up prices at the megaplex and plans to replace 15 screens with 4k technology, Clearview will still operate the Allwood as a neighborhood small town theater that attracts the poor and elderly residents of the neighborhood who want to see a movie.

nearly 10 years after Clifton Commons opened and a few months before the new theater in Paterson opens, this is the only surviving small theater in Clifton. If it closes, it will hurt downtown businesses in the Allwood district.
