Agreed Mark. The issue is that the lease is up for renewal and AMC needs at least a 7 year lease in order to make up the cost of going digital.In the past they haven’t gotten more than a 2 year lease at a time. Also you are right about Paramount, in addition they are stopping making trailers in 35mm so in the future there may be no or very little trailers in front of the films.
This theater opened in 1980 it replaced a drive-in that was in the same location (you can still see the original drive in sign behind office buildings near by)
Auditorium 1 and 2 were 70mm capable. I use to work booth there. The parts for the 70mm were removed from both projectors about 3-5 years ago.
Markinthedark, the lease ended in December. They couldn’t agree on a long term lease so for right now they are going month to month.
