Imax is losing money due to competition from Dolby and other premium formats and their stock price shows that. AMC is also suffering too but should recover by the fall if the summer box office does well.
According to a friend of mine who works at this theater, the Dolby cinema will open on July 15th, right around when War for the Planet of the Apes comes out. Pricing will be the same as IMAX, and there will be reserved seating and premium power recliners to go along with it alongside the 4k quality projection and immersive dolby atmos sound, which has become common on recent bluray releases in 4k.

I think there is increased security at London theaters like this due to yesterday’s horrible terror attack near London Bridge. On a lighter note, Wonder Woman played here as well as other european theaters before the night showings in america and canada. Belgium got the movie first on the 31st of May.
65 years ago Speilberg went to see his first movie that made him want to be a director. 35 years ago next Sunday marks the release of ET. Did this movie play at this theater?
40 years ago this thursday Star Wars had its debut in Central Jersey at this venue, along with Empire in 80 and Jedi in 83. Its successor later played the special editions as well as the prequels and sequels.
40 years ago this thursday, Star Wars episode IV played here and became one of the top grossing movies at this theater. Episode V and VI also played here to packed houses in 70mm dolby stereo. 20 years after that premiere, the special editions of the trilogy played instead at the Ziegfeld theater, which played host to the prequels and the seventh star wars movie before closing down last year, making the Lafayette theater the only single screen theater in NYC area left to show another star wars movie, in that case, Rogue One.
Theater’s name should be changed to AMC East Hanover 12. The Loews name has been dropped as of this weekend.

Ok. I think the theme park is more popular than the cinema here. AMC should also renovate the Universal cinema in Orlando too.
When did RKO sell the theater?
Wonder woman is being played at this venue in 70mm according to Fandango.
I know that via amc’s website. My local amc in rockaway is getting dolby cinema soon.
it’s still among the top listed theaters on the home page of CT.
Once this theater gets recliners it will bring moviegoers away from Union square, which has the advantage of having 4dx.
Sadly there’s no single screen AMC complex in NYC anymore….
You got that right. Any eta on dolby cinema in the loews auditorium?
They should install this system in all digital imaxes.
amazing.

All screens now have recliners.
They should get recliners soon like Newport.
Theater is now AMC Newport Center 11. Later this year will mark 30 years since it opened.
Theater should be changed to AMC Dine-In Menlo Park 12.
