Opened in 1965, the Tilton 9 is located in the Tilton Shopping Center on Tilton Road just 15 miles from Atlantic City. The theatre is a squared cinder block building with the front painted red and a small flat marquee over the entrance.
The auditoriums are comfortable and clean but small. No large screen auditorium. The theatre was awarded favorite theatre for 2004 by the Atlantic Press.

It’s on Franks Theaters website now -I wonder what this will mean as this theater split product with the Towne 16 – leading to several indie films to play in the area across 25 screens.

Ahh…The Glory Days. No more. R.I.P.
Frank Theaters will be closing the Tilton 9 at the end of January, 2012 for major renovations and plans to reopen it in May:

Currently closed – – however they’ll be getting an IMAX screen (not sure if its a retrofit with stadium seating or a new addition…)
Just wondering – does anybody know what happened to Bill Murray – NO – NOT the actor, but the manager of the Tilton?? I’m guessing that when the Franks took over the theatre, Bill decided to go bye-bye…..
Hey, Bill Murray (me) moved to New York City five years ago and is on the other side of the camera now…I loved the Tilton, but, the time had come. 45 years was a good run for the original owners and many of them mine also…r.i.p.
BILL!!!!! It’s Jim Perry – I’m on Facebook, under the “nom de plummage” ya see here. Drop me a line there. GOOD TO SEE YA!
Cheers.
Actually now this venue is known as the Tilton 8 & IMAX. The IMAX opened back in May with Iron Man 3. According to the AC Press article on the venue, it’s boasting an 85-foot IMAX screen and Series 2 IMAX Digital Projection in a 400-leather seat theater.
Four additional auditoriums are scheduled to open May 17, and the remaining three by June 7, company President Bruce Frank said.
So by this posting (6/12/13) you’d think it would be all open. However the website for this is only showing IMAX screen times.
Frank said the new IMAX theater will charge $17 for adults and $15 for children. There is no additional charge for IMAX in 3-D, he said.

I have uploaded an aerial of the theatre showing its expansions in 1988 and 1998.
