open for business on Monday?, Willowbrook Mall closed Monday due to Route 46 flooding
Theatre’s closed until monday due to flooding as well as the nearby mall. Route 23 is a disaster. The Clearview is the only cinema that’s open in wayne.
Flooding will be an issue again near this theater.
I agree. This theater was the first theater that I experienced SDDS with Batman Forever. It was 5.1. Even some of the trailers were surround sound. It sounded pretty good and loud. Some of the largest screens in the theater were equipped with 8 channel SDDS, yet there were fewer movies that were released in that format that I experienced, such as Godzilla, which was the last 8 channel movie that I heard in this theater before AMC took over Loews and replaced the Dolby SR, SDDS, and DTS-Stereo and DTS 5.1 into Dolby Digital 5.1 and EX surround sound formats, and then PCM uncompressed audio with the installation of digital 4k projection.
Security was, and is still terrible. I had a car stolen from the parking lot about ten years ago. Very poor lighting there.
I agree. I have been there when it was a few years old and it was ok. As time progressed, the seats became crummy and the floor sticky. The sound system became glitchy and prices went up. Security is not that good at this theater. Parking can be a hassle. Thankfully there are better theatres around this one, all with stadium seating, digital IMAX, and better crowds. They need to rebuild Wayne as a 14-screen stadium seating theater like what they did to Danbury.
Place needs a renovation after almost thirty years
Travis Reid is now head of Screenvision, which used to serve advertising for this theater before AMC used National Cinemedia for all of its theaters, as the company plans to convert pre-show ads to digital.
2 of them in 3D. Jackass is playing in 2D at this theater, alongside the 3D version.
all screens now digital.
Hopefully it will. Two upcoming events are coming according to the fandango site…Beauty and the Beast Sing A Long, on tuesday September 29th, then Exorcist Director’s Cut event the next day which will be the Version You’ve Never Seen shown digitally plus never-before-seen making of footage which will appear on the bluray when that film is released for the first time on that format. As of today, this theater is the longest-lived Loews theater in northern New Jersey.
Curious whether the closure of Clearview’s Cinema 23 in Verona, and AMC’s renovation of the Essex Green in West Orange will boost business here.
When I went to see kids movies as well as regular flicks at this theater…this trailer would be played before the movie…http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wtnik1rb60I&fmt=18
it was probably the longest policy trailer I’ve seen in my life!! There was also a second version of this that played before Elmo In Grouchland as well as Muppets from Space (the latter of which I saw in Allwood, a Clearview cinema), that explained the history of movies, Muppets-style.
Once Loews Cineplex took over, things went downhill once Clifton Commons opened. It wasn’t until when AMC merged with Loews that big changes were coming. New uniforms, replacement of SDDS with Dolby Digital systems in every screen, and two digital 4k 3D screens. The only thing that hasn’t changed is the Fandango deal.
As I can recall, Titanic played for months at this theater, even though it wasn’t shown in 70mm (only a few theatres showed it, including the Astor in times square). I saw it in 5.1 SDDS. It was the first 3 hour+ movie I saw at the theater, and it didn’t need an intermission (the two-disc special edition has an intermission) so I sat through the movie including the trailers (one of which advertised Payback, which would be delayed until 1999!!!). I also saw Tomorrow Never Dies at this theater the weekend that Titanic opened, a decent bond movie. This was during the year that Sony controlled this theater during its last year as a Loews theater.
What movie had the longest run at this theater, Damien?
BTW, when I first went to this theater in 1990 (as far as I can remember) when I saw the Duck Tales movie, I remembered this policy trailer…http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YcXO-iKaJ_Y
too bad AMC didn’t bring the jingle back when it acquired the chain four years ago.
What a difference a month makes. Flooding has gone, and the theater’s parking lot is still dry. Slimshady, will this theater get all digital by the summer or fall?
sorry for the second comment. Here’s a photo of the parking lot under water due to today’s flooding…
