What a lovely, well designed site. It’s better than the nothing they had for the last year or so, I guess.
Regarding movie listings for this and other Village theatres:

I wonder how long this will last (that is Village’s operation of this theatre). Will it go the same way as their operation of the Burnham? It’s too bad Loews didn’t want this theatre and that someone like Classic Cinemas couldn’t take it over.
Sometimes I think that Village should just go back to operating the Village and Village North.
It’s funny that Loews never took down the Cineplex Odeon sign.
Been going to this theater since it opened. The change of ownership was obvious in that the entire staff changed and concession specials changed, too. One weekend their computer connection went down and they only accepted cash – and scribbled out tickets on scraps of paper! Last time we were there the snack bar wasstill only accepting cash, but the girl in the ticket booth jumped out to tell us she’d run a debit for us. Seems like a local family operation now that we’re glad to support, but we’re getting tired of having to drive by to get the showtimes.
They do not put ads any where. Because business dropped so much due to lack of ads and people not knowing the theater was actually open they had to put ads in. Who knows how long that will last.
Fitting, I suppose
Village entertainment has acquired this theater from Loews. It’s open.
This theatre along with River Oaks 7-8 are now closed. I wonder what they’re going to do with them?
the original theatres were a awesome. i saw close encounters there when it first opened and was blown away by the size and sound. once they cut it up, it really sucked. i saw the original batman(nicholson/keaton) there and the place had become a sticky floor dump.
The Lincoln Village 7-9 Theatres were indeed torn down (approximately 2 years ago), and the Borders was indeed built on the site (and is now open for business) as part of the renovation of the Lincoln Village shopping center (a small outdoor mall).
I went to the LV7-9 a lot, and I must admit, it wasn’t in great shape towards the end. The two smaller theatres, which appeared to be carved out of a balcony, had screens that were set at odd angles- one side of the screen was closer to the audience than the other.
The Lincoln Village 7-9 was originally opened by Essaness Theaters. I have heard on the news that it was going to be a Border’s Book Store where the original three screens were.
