Guild 45th Theatre

There’s a partial illustration/photograph of a portion of the exterior of the Guild 45th Theatre under the month of May in the 2005 Landmark Theatres calendar. Even at this incredibly late time of the year, I’d think it’s worth a shot, Mark, to see if your neighborhood Landmark Theatre has an extra copy kicking around or to perhaps contact the corporate office of Landmark and find out if they have one to spare.

The second screen is just west of the original Guild. They both sandwich a pizza place. (or pizza a sandwich place). The second screen has about 200 seats with steep stadium seating. This must have been a really original idea in 1983. The design accomodates the lobby under the auditorium to make up for the lack of depth in the building. Although the old Guild is still a great place to see a film, one usually hopes it is in the smaller, newer Guild. It has the most comfortable high-backed seats I have ever sat in at a theatre. Landmark actually installed 70MM capacity in BOTH of the Guild Theatres and actually had 2 70MM engagements at once in 1993. (Remains of the Day and Short Cuts). I saw Short Cuts in the smaller Guild in 70MM and the presentaion was superb!
