well this is quite an exciting photo as i’m a huge 2001 one fan. you can see both the one sheet, insert and lobby cards in the display. this is very cool
folks lets remember that it’s cinemas like amc and regal that have hurt and put small classic theaters out of business. this along with the fact that i cannot stand modern film is just another reason why i no longer go to the movies.
you will see circled in the photo above an original one sheet from fleming’s classic “gone with the wind.” here is what the poster looks like in all of its glory
“gone with the wind” was originally released on december 15, 1939 but could only be seen in a small, select number of theaters. in 1941 the year the top photo shown above was taken “gone with the wind” was released to the general public. based upon the number of people in line as shown in the photo above, this photo was taken most likely taken around the initial release date of the film. “gone with the wind” would go one to be one of the highest grossing films of all time.
i talked to a gentlemen about a year ago who told me the pix theater had been bought out by a real estate company and that they were using at least part of the building for offices. i haven’t been buy in awhile but was also told that no real outside renovations were done and that the pix sign is still there intact.
i own an original one sheet from hitchcock’s vertigo taken from the pascack theatre. at the top of the poster in the white border handwritten it notes in red paint “pascack wed-sat.” does anyone know if back in the 50’s movies were released on fridays as they are today? reason i ask is why wouldn’t the movies also be shown on mon. and tues? sunday? were there any theaters open at all on sundays?
the varsity is showing the rear window, the goonies and goldfinger over the next 3 or 4 weeks. i went back to the varsity for the first time since it changed ownership earlier this year to see the rear window. it was neat to watch a classic hitchcock film on the big screen. the theater is extreamly clean and they new owners have done an excellent job in keeping the classic feel of the old varsity. i love how prior to a films screening the show photos of what the theater used to look like and the crowds that attended viewings of classic films even prior to wwII. i definitely plan on going back considering i’m a student at unc. here are some photos below

nice. so does the theater now just show old movies? is that the ‘43 phantom with claude rains they are showing?
