Designed by frequent Loews architect, David Rockwell, this 15-screen, all-stadium seating megaplex opened its doors on May 14, 1999 and quickly became one of the most popular movie venues in Manhattan. Now under the AMC banner, it continues to offer a mix of first-run and independent-type films.

Go to Duffy Square and get a half priced ticket to a LIVE Broadway show for not much more than movie admission and snacks.
I saw Iron Man 2 last night in Liemax theater #10. It was my first time to a Liemax theater. The presentation was very good. I was surprised how bright the picture is with 2 projectors. Maybe they also have a high gain screen. The thing I was most curious about was how many rows of seats in the front got sacrificed in the theater conversion. It seem the screen is closer than it was originally.
Does anyone out there know?
Kips Bay keeps screwing people with Advance Tickets. I purchased opening night tix for thor in 3d and now they have changed the showtime (for the 730show) to 10 minutes earlier and a smaller crappy screen downstairs. This is not the first time this has happened.
Moving “Thor” to a “a smaller crappy screen” suggests that the movie is a platinum turkey. Maybe you should demand a refund while you still can.
celboy, what is a Liemax screen, a pseudo Imax, too small for max projection?
Correction: for Imax projection.
AGR,
I don’t understand the “what”?
This was for the reg dlp 3d not liemax.
A 93% rating on Rotten Tomatoes would state otherwise, Tinseltoes.
So after complaining online to AMC, the manager called and apologized. He said that the Studios dictate the number of screens and also want advance ticketing started asap. So the studio added a screening —-so the theater has to juggle the presentations. It went from one liemax, one 3d & one 2d to liemax,2 3d’s and the 2d screening only twice opening day alternating with another title (thats 3d).
I do appreciate good customer service… so thanks AMC. I just shouldn’t order advance tix too early.
No studio dictates the number of screens. The studio only agrees to a maximum house nut which the theatre chain can then accept as is or add seats at their own expense.
If the studios dictated these things, film buyers wouldn’t have a job.
