This 14-screen megaplex was constructed during the building, or overbuilding, of mega-plexes that took place in Manhattan in the late 1990s into 2000.
Located only eight blocks from the much higher profile 42nd Street Loews E-Walk, the 34th Street mega-plex is somewhat off-the-beaten track between Eighth and Ninth Avenues.
When both theaters were Loews houses, much, if not all, of the fare was day and date with the E-Walk.

Is this place doing any business yet?
I went to the latest Indiana Jones there – literally – out of desperation – due to sold out shows at other theatres.
Here’s what I found.
A big – stadium seating – theatre with an enormous semi-curved screen (theatre 13)…..
good seats (the leather ones were insane) – plenty of leg room ……
Vacumed floors…semi clean restrooms – varied and plentiful candy counters…
excellent sound…
pleasent crowd..
I’m a 34th street boy from now on!
In November of this year, this theatre, along with The AMC Empire 25 and the AMC Loews Kips Bay 15, will be a Digital IMAX Theatre.
West 34th Street should be an aka here.
The theatre opened on November 2nd, 2001 with the premiere engagements being Monsters, Inc. (on three screens), Domestic Disturbance (on three screens), The One (on two screens), The Man Who Wasn’t There (on two screens), K-PAX (on two screens), Bandits and Thirteen Ghosts.
I saw Taking of Pelham 123 here on Thursday. Overall a good moviegoing experience , despite 3 minor complaints. I agree there should be restrooms on both levels. The existing ones should have been cleaner at 11 am on a weekday. And in auditorium 12 there is a musty odor from the carpeting when you first enter. I did not sample any of the concession items.
I worked at a group that showed Transformers 2 in the IMAX screen. It was said that T2 would have scenes filmed in IMAX to support IMAX screens. Well, the screen, surprisingly works with it. Scenes did turn from IMAX to 35mm. It’s slightly bigger than 42nd’s but so much smaller than 68ths.
This theater has caught on, because there always seems to be a nice crowd — not over-packed, but just enough to have a good movie-going experience. I especially like the bargain matinees, and its proximity to Penn Station.
This theater is not too far from MSG.
I was here for the second time last month, and all was fine . Yes, tickets are $14- but it’s midtown Manhatten.
