This theatre opened on March 15, 1985 and the intro needs to be corrected.
O.K. Ed.

The opening films were Mask, Into The Night and Lost In America.
From the intro:
“At one time, the Loews 84th Street was the highest grossing movie theatre in the country. It was the highest grossing theatre in NYC until the Loews Lincoln Square opened in late 1994.”
From 1989 to 1994 the Chelsea 9 was the highest grossing theatre in NYC.

Wall to wall C plus movies.
It aint the building.
It’s the management.
I, too, noticed this theater started deteriorating around the time Sony started funneling almost all of the more important movies into its newer, tonier Lincoln Square.
How could you tell it was “dried blood?” Are you a medical professional?

No, but my friend was a nurse. And, two days prior, I understand that there was a gang fight in the theater.
very funny. Real D is no Imax 3d, since Imax 3d is still my favorite 3d format of all time.
Sorry! Since “Real D” was mentioned by “Mike Q” in a post about cleaning services, I guessed that he meant “Real dirty,” or even “Real disgusting.”
i agree, markl. Even the AMC in Rockaway, a year old theater, can’t afford the money drawn from concession sales to drive the purchase of a new Real D system. I saw it before the Nightmare release and it’s better than IMAX 3-D at the lincoln square theater. Seems that the 84th street is acting up like its bigger brother. The only downside is that both complexes don’t have stadium seating, which AMC’s mammoth Empire 25 has, even though it’s not located in a crowded area like Times Square.
Warren,
REAL-D is a digital 3-D system. It has been used for Chicken Little, Meet the Robinsons, Nightmare Before Christmas and Beowulf, along with a few others. It works quite well, but I understand it is very expensive for exhibitors.

This place is a complete dump. The last time I was there, it was crowded and I was sitting close to the front. I looked down at the floor and saw a large area of dried blood.
“Mike Q,” your posts might be more appreciated if you reported some of the low down and dirty about 1570 Cinema Services. For example, exactly what services are provided? How much does a theatre pay for the services? How often are the theatres cleaned? Daily, weekly, monthly? Anecdotes, such as the theatre with the most condoms found in one urinal?
“House #2 is "Real D?” Translation, please!
Yeah, like if someone like me gets comments to theaters I don’t want to read up to date about. That’s like spam!!! I only read comments to theaters I’ve been to in my life. Just click on remove this thread post in the email thing and that’s it. You can also leave the checking box alone if you don’t want your comment read by so many people.
Is that really important enough for you to post as a comment to many different theatres?
This theater had its screens professionally cleaned by 1570 Cinema Services 10/15/07. House #2 is Real D.
What a mess this place is! Attended a screening there yesterday! The place stunk, a lousy moldy damp smell. There was no AC in theatre 6, but the hall way was nice and cool. The picture was out of focus, and even though I told a seeminly brain damaged usher twice about it, nothing was done! Last time I go there.
I attended a screening on Saturday 7/21 and was very disappointed. Granted it was an early Saturday morning, but still. The theatre was for lack of a better term dark and dirty.
Very disappointing.
The DLP system in in theatre #2.
The Arthur Marks plaque was not misplaced, it was given to his family after the column it was mounted was damaged and and re-done.
The lettered auditoriums was an internal designation only, they had no letter or number for the public to see.
The unusable seats were intentional – the old seats were smaller, therefore there were more of them. They did not want distributors to know that they had lost so many seats with the re-seating, so we ended up with the seats behind the curtains and seats too far forward in the center section. After a while we cannibalized those unusable seats for parts to make repairs to the usable ones.
