Well it is a great concept. The one in Asheville is really doing well as you know by the USA article last week. Plus, the food is good quality better than some restaurants.

Sorry for the delay in getting you the information. Cinebarre will open the next theatre in Mt Pleasanr in June and another theatre in July in Denver. Unfortunately we are losing the wonderful general manager we have here Brooke. She will be going to the Denver location.
The Lyric on 42nd was paritally torn down. What they did was they took part of the old Apollo theatre and the Lyric and built the Hilton Theatre which is a legit broadway house.
To be honest, the local Carmike in Asheville switched to DLP projection about a year ago and I see no difference in the picture quality. Of course this theatre and chain is the pits so they probibly purchased a cheap system or are false advertising. When a chain charges more for a large popcorn and is smaller than Regal’s medium something is not right.

I know you posted a comment in Sept 2006 that I am going to answer now. I Am Curious Yellow played all summer at the Hollywood Theatre. They had police stationed there during th hours of operation. Interesting how in 1970 there was such a fuss about thatmovie. I bet today it would be rated R.
I think that the show this year was great. I think part of the problem is there hasn’t been a blcokbuster movie that has won in years. Last year Dreamgirls which should have been nominated wasn’t. In the past few years the best picture winner has not swept the awards.
Million Dollar Baby-4
Crash-3
The Departed-4
No Country-4
Holywood needs a blcokbuster movie.The one good thing about this year was that only 2 of the acting catagories were locks. This is the first year I can remember that the supportin actress catagory had a different winner Globes-Cate Blanchet,Sag-Ruby Dee and Oscar -Tilda Swinton. I do think they voted honestlyfor the best actress as Maion Cortillard was incredible.
From what I know, an Embass Suites now sits on the site of the former Apollo theater. It closed as a burlesque house arounf 1977 because the auditorium was condemed. I knew Charlie Tannenbaum who owned the theatre from my banking days, After they closed the theatre, the lobby was used for charectures. That burned and some friends of mine opened a clothing store there.
The theater was a hoot Friday Dec 21 for the opening of Sweeney Todd.They sereved Mrs Lovetts meat pies and had a barber chiar in the lobby for Sweeny haircuts. What a hoot.
AMC would have never opened this in 96 as a twin had they not known it would be a gold mine. It is also a stadium seating theatre. The town it is located in a owned by Disney so I am sure they had something to do with them putting in the theatre.
The food is really excellent. We shared a small pizza and a cheeseburger. **** for the food.
Please update chain to Cinebarre. When I posted it as a new theatre it was not an option
Thanks

Man Ken MC those pictures make it look bad just a month after closing.

Any information on when Mama Mia is opening. I bet they will keep it for a Christmas release. I wold love to see a preview of it.
If they do this, I will not go to any Regal theatres anymore.
So will Samsra be shown in regualr theatres or just Imax?
This is stupid. Bring back 70mm

The last year for this theatre was 1982. During it’s last few years it was run by the Sameric chain.
