Just want to add to the description, the theatre was operated in the 1980’s by Plitt Theatres, when Cineplex Odeon bought the change, the theatre was Loews Theatres entry into the Chicago area.
Correction, the theatre was a single screen. They build an aother auditorium next to the original in the early 1980’s. It closed in the late 1990s. Please update it open in the early 1970s as a single theatre. An added auditorium to make it 2 in the early 1980’s.
Theatre 1, the original was fairly good in the 1980’s. It had Dolby Stereo and theatre 2 was MONO. The current owner Harvey Elgart that owns Kew Gardens and Cobble Hill, the last owners of the Surfside Twin Cinema.
The theatre was business wasn’t good in the late 1990’s when they had competition form the Kings Plaza Cinemas 6 and UA The Movies at Sheepshead Bay 9.
I went their when I was a teenager and lived in the Rockaways for most of my life before leaving in 2013.
The sad thing Theatre 13 specs are wrong because Regal put in a newer RPX screen sometime after Argo played in 2013. All scope films have letterboxing. Regal should of left the original screen in 13.
Please correct your desciption, New York Cinemas (owners of Cinema Studio and Lincoln Plaza Cinemas) ran the Metro Theatre. They made that theatre a twin with only one auditorium Dolby Stereo.. Clearview took the theatre over from Cineplex Odeon after they were force to sell some theatres off when they merge with Loews.. I enclose a ad with NYC owning the theatre
The Sunrise Multiplex Cinemas which open the same time in 1979, when they added screens, it was a long walk to Theatre 14. The refreshment area was by screens 3 and 4 in 1979, which became screens 6 and 7 in 1987. The sad thing about National Amusements, they didn’t care about us watching films down long narrow auditoriums when watching scope films, it was horrible.
For example, The Last Emperor which I saw it the Sunrise Cinemas, similar to Amboy, Theatre 11 was horrible, cut up from a 550 seat house which was added in 1982..
At least in the 90, National Amusements got better when building movie theatres, they at least built 12 to 14 screen complexes. Why didn’t they in 1979 build 14 screens from the start. Guess AMC was inventor of more modern complexes.
In the early 1980s it was a 2nd run theatre. Became first run sometime in 1985 and was twin around 1986 and in 1990 it became a triplex.
It was open in the early 1990s. It needs to be updated.
This theatre will show films for a three to four month run. Can’t imagine it closing, they put reserved seating 2 years ago.
Seating capacity of the six auditoriums from Loews Cineplex Directory. 1. 212 Ultra Stereo 2. 245 Dolby SR 3. 214 Dolby SR 4. 224 Ultra Stereo 5. 245 Dolby 6. 238 Ultra Stereo
