I also will add that I snuck into a showing of Mean Girls here (walked out after fifteen minutes because it was that bad) and recently saw Iron Man at an advance screening and Harold and Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay here.
Meanwhile, the theatre is back to Dickinson branding but haven’t seen if anything’s changed yet. Goodrich kept it almost as is, even the carpet is still Dickinson branded.
Recently, the Quad was one of the few theatres to run Uwe Boll’s Postal. This was because AMC and Regal refused to show it. Boll must have paid them a lot of money to run it.
IMAX is going to be added to this theatre and possibly DLP/REAL-D as well. It was purchased mainly after plans for a new theatre were canceled due to lack of space.
The state that I live in has almost no exhibition of Bollywood titles. Kansas City runs a few, St. Louis runs most of them but for only two days and the times never appear in the paper (Saawariya was an exception because Sony distributed it) and Springfield is so xenophobic that you can forget about it. Hopefully they build a Indian theatre in Kansas City or St. Louis or start distributing titles wider and for longer. Maybe even some decent video distribution (as in, video stores actually carry them) will happen.
I saw The Wizard Of Oz here on Friday. I saw it in the balcony and the people involved really put out all of the stops here. 35mm print (from the 1998 reissue), introduction by actors playing characters, bubbles provided during Glinda’s scenes and the air conditioning going at full-blast during the tornado scene.

The other two were Cocoon: The Return and Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade. And the Springfield 8 played five 70mm titles, Far and Away in first run and special one-week runs of Batman, Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade, Die Hard 2 and Patriot Games in 1993.
This theatre is mentioned in “Tiny Toons Adventures: How I Spent My Summer Vacation” as being the film’s only theatrical screening. Was it really screened or was it a well-researched gag?
You could probably say the theatre ended with a bang showing Titanic.
I accidentally left out 28 Weeks Later (in THX).
I’d say their IMAX screen still rakes in a lot of dough.

Recently saw Under The Same Moon here. Also a great film.
That may never happen. KGBX is one of the city’s top radio stations and they could never be evicted.
IMAX is going to be added to this theatre and possibly DLP/REAL-D as well. It was purchased mainly after plans for a new theatre were canceled due to lack of space.
I remember that scene in Resident Evil: Apocalypse. Pointless, like the rest of the film.
How is this news?
David Daly was also the Springfield News-Leader’s film critic during his tenure at SMSU (now Missouri State University).
It’s probably a screening room that plays DVD’s and commercials.
This played at the Springfield 8 but I didn’t see how well it did, because I was seeing Iron Man.
The state that I live in has almost no exhibition of Bollywood titles. Kansas City runs a few, St. Louis runs most of them but for only two days and the times never appear in the paper (Saawariya was an exception because Sony distributed it) and Springfield is so xenophobic that you can forget about it.

Denis Quad was good in Great Balls Of Fire and The Rookie.
I saw The Wizard Of Oz here on Friday. I saw it in the balcony and the people involved really put out all of the stops here. 35mm print (from the 1998 reissue), introduction by actors playing characters, bubbles provided during Glinda’s scenes and the air conditioning going at full-blast during the tornado scene.
Great experience.
According to fromscripttodvd.com, The Sound Of Music ran 146 weeks.
According to a picture seen in the documentary on the Leatherface: Texas Chainsaw Massacre III DVD, that film (Leatherface) played at this theatre.
Spy Kids 3-D is actually the highest grossing 3-D film ever, despite having been released in the red/blue format.
Losing one theatre does not mean the end of the world. Sometimes people can be really stupid.
There’s life and there’s everything else. Sometimes, the fate of the world is better than saving a theatre that probably won’t be saved anyway.
The final show under Landmark was Run, Fatboy, Run.
