Looks like Joker will come out in regular, IMAX and dolby at this theater as said in the trailer online. Maybe even prime.

A few days ago people took shelter at this venue along others due to a false alarm which was actually a bad muffler on a bike.

For those seeing Hobbs and Shaw in Dolby, there is a trailer for Tenet which is being shown exclusively before this movie. I saw the leaked trailer online and it looks promising.

One wonders how such a mass evacuation was handled. How were refunds and/or rainchecks distributed for last Saturday night’s blackout? I guess that anyone without a receipt of some sort was out of luck.

There was a major power outage affecting this theater

And regular screenings of Spiderman were indeed at the $6.00 Tuesday discount price.

There certaining is a box office counter at the Empire and at other AMC locations

And likely it’s not included as part of the discount since it’s a “Special Engagement”

I think that’s because the studio wanted to take advantage of the 4th of July weekend as much as they could.

Pretty weird that the new Spider-Man movie is opening on one of the busiest days at AMC is Discount Tuesday

The service/convenience fee is always $1.50 per ticket, never any more. And that’s only charged when you’re actually ready to order. Other than that it shows regular box office prices. BTW there is no real “box office” anymore here or at other AMCs in the city, just vending machines.

Cinemas 1,2,3 on the East Side have a general admission of $19, $16 for kids and seniors, and $10 for shows starting before noon. Also an extra $3.50 for a 3-D feature and $2.00 for 70mm presentations. How do those prices compare to the two multi-screens on West 42nd Street?

No service charge if you belong to their loyalty programs.

I don’t think that would work for the info I’m seeking, which is prices charged at box office for walk-in patrons. Prices paid on the internet always include a variable “service fee,” don’t they?

You don’t have to finish the order to see the price.

What is the current range of ticket prices here? It’s information not readily available at their website. It seems that you actually have to start placing an order before they tell you what each ticket will cost.

So the largest screen in terms of seats is the digital one and has been that way since it opened nearly 20 years ago. Does AMC Empire still project film on occasion or is it all digital now?

By my count, the total number of seats in this theatre (not including wheelchair spaces, but including wheelchair companion spaces) is now 3699. IMAX: 312, Dolby: 221, Prime: 175 and from 50 to 371 in the rest.

Same for Reald 3d. Don’t forget Prime is also in this theater too. Not too far away from this theater, a digital billboard caught fire but no one was hurt!!

The ushers don’t clean the regular auditoriums. I saw the 1240 show of “The Intruder” in theatre 21, the theatre was dirty. Seats are busted. What Inside Edition show about AMC dirty theatres, it still true.

Unless you pay big bucks for IMAX or DOLBY CINEMA, AMC doesn’t care about the regular auditoriums.

I can’t believe audiences are so stupid to accept such bad presentation. Demand a refund!!

moviebuff82, the Regal across the street is just as bad and I own stock in Cineworld.

This is why I avoid theatres like this…amc is known for issues like this and hopefully they fix stuff once Endgame opens this weekend as this theater shows its age.
