Hope they put the large sign up again!
About an hour ago they finished removing the red LOEWS letters from the top of the marquee. Right now all thats left is the 42nd Street neon lettering and the regular marquee signage.
They should put a huge crown next to the REGAL sign, because Regal’s logo is a crown!!!
Just drove by the E Walk, the LOEWS letters have been taken out of the large Vertical sign , It is just a big gray skeleton now with no lights or letters! They will probably be replaced with REGAL , hopefully they will not take it down, as it is a great sign!

Had a great experience there the ther day, although the lobby is becoming torn and ragged , the auditorium I was in was nice redone in great colors and comfort! was very impressed! So superior to the AMC Empire across the street, with its rude and nasty ticket takers and uncomfortable seats!
Yeah, I was over there the other day and noticed the vertical was out – I wonder if it is intentional, or is it broken?
Back on Nov. 28th. 2006, I posted that the two Loews signs above the marquee and the neon was not being lit. That changed about a week ago. I noticed that the large Loews vertical sign was not being lit now and the two Loews signs on the marquee are on with the neon.

Why would Clearview go into a theatre that doesn’t make money? They had a chance to get the theatre before Regal stepped in to it. A few other chains had the chance too.
Or maybe he was referring to the obscene prices at the concession stand.
you mean the AMC’s 25 screens, BobT. BTW, which theater does more business, the AMC or Regal? I’d say AMC since it’s the most popular theater in America. Could CLearview be next if Regal doesn’t make any money on the theater?
I’m going to assume the writer was referring to The Harem Theatre which was was located on the same site but was demolished for the new construction. It’s wrong and a huge stretch for him to say the E-Walk showed porno. Maybe he assumed The Harem was reused because the other theatres on the block were renovated, or restored and the AMC’s 24 across the street’s lobby technically was a grindhouse at one time.
It never showed porno!
I don’t believe it either.
I don’t believe it either.
And neither do I.
Warren… I don’t believe the 42nd Street E-Walk (which opened under the Loews banner and sold to Regal after the AMC takeover of Loews was completed) ever showed porno movies. That would have gone completely against the very ideals upon which the “new 42nd Street” and the freshly Giuliani-scrubbed Times Square were built. I think, rather, that the writers of the New York Magazine article are either referring to or confusing the theater with the old Harem Theater – a bona fide XXX porn house carved from former retail space in the early 1970’s on the site where the E-Walk now stands.

I’ve been to a REG theater (the one in South Plainfield) and the seats there are pretty good, it’s that the sound and picture aren’t that great…is this true for the E-Walk now that Regal took over. Looks like this theater will close for good in the future because AMC Empire 25 is getting all the good stuff (digital projection, classic movies, indies)…they should put a sports arena in there or a mall.
REGAL replace the seats with REG seats and painted all the audiotriums
It’s like a recent article in LA Times, that said the Fox Theatre on Hollywood Blvd. was recently bought and turning into a night club. It stated the theatre had been closed and empty for the last 3 decades. The closed 16 years ago. As for “first-rate projection” there thats another story. (Sound drop-outs, flickering bulbs…etc. etc)
I never knew this once showed porno movies, but that’s a claim made in the double March 12-19 “Best of New York” issue of New York Magazine, which calls it the best “Megaplex Movie Theater” around: “While the movies you’ll see here— ‘Norbit, the Astronaut Farmer’— aren’t gems, screens 12 and 13 are. First of all, they have a size and sound system that are unrivaled among the city’s bigger theaters, along with first-rate projection. The theater’s not superclean, but it’s better than it used to be, when it showed porno films. Located across from the AMC Empire 25 in Times Square, the E-Walk can attract a participatory crowd. Best to go during off-hours, when the space is so empty it feels like a private screening room.”
It would be worth a look if you didn’t have to pay.
