This state-of-the-art Loews megaplex opened in July 2001, as part of the Millennium Place/Ritz-Carlton Towers development in Boston’s theatre district. It occupies the former site of the Astor (Tremont) Theatre, which had been demolished two decades earlier.
It is now the only movie theatre in downtown Boston.

Have been learning quite a lot on this fascinating thread, but now have a question perhaps someone like pmont can answer. I attended many, many, many movies in Boston during the late 1960’s and early 1970’s in such beautiful theaters. Does anyone know of a website(s) where I night find interior pictures of these beautiful movie houses, some with marble staircases and velvet drapes, one with a dome. As well as those downtown, I also went to the Exeter as I lived in Back Bay 2 blocks away. Now although I get to Boston frequently (I live in Vermont), I only get to about a dozen movies there a year, usually to the Common or Fenway. So I do understand a lot of the comments and explanations that have been posted.
Here is a 2009 photo of the AMC Loews Boston Commons
If you are wondering about fake IMAX for Alice in Wonderland, Boston Common went Real 3D for the movie. Shutter Island was being shown this weekend in their over 600 seat auditorium. Fake IMAX is still planned for the spring.
Nice photo Jack,Thanks.
From experience I can honestly say when you sit up front the IMAX effect is sort of intact on the IMAX digital screens.
However they have raised the prices even MORE! $17.50 at night for 3D compared to $11.50 at Jordan’s and $12.95 at the Aquarium
From the Wicked Local blog: Boston gets a new IMAX theater, but it may not be as big as you think
They’re now aiming at May 7 for the opening of Iron Man 2, though it may be ready a week or two earlier.
No way I could see Iron Man 2 at Boston Common after reading the wicked local blog.
If I see the film in IMAX, Jordan’s in Reading for me.
This was another of the theaters designed for Loew’s by architect David Rockwell.
This place is going down hill ever since AMC took it over.
Not sure why they won’t invest in new seats or fix men’s room.
Will look at Showcase Cinemas first before AMC for a movie.
Showcase is all digital @ Randolph & Patriot Place.
Just a short note to say that AMC has finally fixed (or replaced) the scrolling video sign below the marque. It had been broken for several years. It still doesn’t give you much information about what’s playing inside, however.
