The Alien preview happened on April 6th, 1979. Then-Fox head Alan Ladd Jr. and many Fox representatives were in attendance along with the heads of the circuits run in the state.
The next three D-Box movies will be Prince Of Persia, Jonah Hex and Inception. I imagine that Prince Of Persia will open at the El Capitan so that probably makes the other two potential day and date engagements with the Arclight.
DreamWorks has signed on a distribution deal with Disney which allows them to handle theatrical, DVD and cable rights on most films (DreamWorks Animation will remain distributed by Paramount and keep its pay cable deal with HBO though since it is treated as a separate entity). When Disney extended their deal with Starz through 2015, DreamWorks titles were offered separately or together. Starz passed on the DreamWorks titles and DreamWorks instead signed with Showtime (their HBO deal ends when Paramount releases the last of the titles from that deal). In short, Disney will be splitting its output between Starz and Showtime. Showtime will get the DreamWorks titles (such as I Am Number Four, War Horse and Real Steel) while Starz will run the Disney, Pixar and Touchstone titles.
Showtime did just get airing rights to DreamWorks films (which Starz turned down as they didn’t have enough money to get Disney and DreamWorks together) so it’s not all bad.
Epix does indeed hold the rights to Iron Man and Indiana Jones. In fact, those were two of the three movies that aired at launch point (the other one was Cloverfield).
A list of 2010 wide release titles that will appear on Epix:
Daybreakers
The Spy Next Door
From Paris With Love
Shutter Island
She’s Out Of My League
Hot Tub Time Machine
Why Did I Get Married Too
Kick-Ass
Iron Man 2
Killers
The Last Airbender

The Expendables
The Last Exorcism
Warrior
Buried
Alpha and Omega
Jackass 3-D
Paranormal Activity 2

Morning Glory
The Next Three Days
Red Dawn

I can’t think of any Southern-based chains that would even think of serving Pepsi. Many hardcore Southerners shun Pepsi as “being a product of the Yankee North” (despite the fact that Pepsi was invented in North Carolina, a Southern state).
The theatre opened on October 18th, 1985 with Sweet Dreams, Better Off Dead, Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins, The Gods Must Be Crazy, Volunteers, Compromising Positions, Teen Wolf, The Backwoods Massacre, Weird Science, Silver Bullet, Marie and St. Elmo’s Fire as the opening engagements.
The latest news: Roger Ebert may make a return to television despite the loss of his voice (he has had a personalized voice synthiziser made for him though which duplicates the sound of his old voice, thanks to archived audio of Ebert before he was diagnosed with throat cancer).
I was watching Police Squad this week and noticed the the title screen has footage of Broadway (probably 1960’s stock footage). The Rivoli and a few other theatres appear.
Disney is shortening the window on Alice in Wonderland because they want to debut its new video-on-demand service with it. That’s understandable but why get it on VOD when a monthly Netflix subscription is cheaper?
The Crazies will be the next D-Box release. However, it looks to be playing as a moveover on the format as Arclight is selling tickets for it at midnight.
A few years back, France tried to protest shorter windows by having theatres not run Night At The Museum. This didn’t work mainly because Night At The Museum was a big moneymaker and the theatres wanted the additional coin.

Right now at the Chinese: A Nightmare On Elm Street. MacGruber starts on Friday.

I would hate to see the Glenwood Arts close.

Beverly Hills Cop with Eddie Murphy in attendance sounds good.
Needs some Tron.
I see that the promoter liked Bowfinger.

3-D cropping can be distracting in a way. Most 3-D prints of Avatar were matted and some effects were reduced as a result.
I was watching Police Squad this week and noticed the the title screen has footage of Broadway (probably 1960’s stock footage). The Rivoli and a few other theatres appear.
I can’t see this working due to the silver screen installation. Also, it seems like a step back in terms of technological advances.
It might work for second runs and reissues of older movies but otherwise, it will probably fail.
The theatre’s marquee made a brief appearance through a recreation in last year’s Watchmen (which is set in 1985).
Some of you guys are taking this way too seriously. The people who did this were just having fun and it is a good model after all.

Nothing says ultimate experience like the smell of trees.
The Arclight runs a lot of indie titles also.
