Ticket prices have gone up $2 since this theater opened, to $11 which is the same as Rockaway. Also I’ve seen a bunch of screens got digital, slimshady. Are the THX signs still near theaters 8 and 9?

Yep, all AMC’s should be all digital in this area, besides Ridgefield Park. THX signs should be there, not sure. Been awhile i’ve been to that theatre. But last time I check, it was there

nearly 10 years ago was the last time General Cinema owned this theater, the following year, AMC took over and removed all references to General Cinema, including the famous policy trailers. Do they still show the trailer before the trailers begin in which at the end there’s a map of the theater with glowing exits? That was the unique thing about this theater when it first opened.

Looks like they installed Digital IMAX in this theater for Contagion this weekend. What screen is it? Is it as big as rockaway?

Looks like theater #8 is the only one left with THX.

Star Wars is back at clifton commons..episode 1 that is!!! In 3d!!! The first time The Phantom Menace came out, it used Moviefone as its ticket provider. Now it uses Fandango as its provider. I remember my dad seeing Episode 1 first with his wife (stepmom). I then saw it with my late nana in an auditorium where the projection was so-so and the surround sound mostly not digital and dolby stereo only. The DVD was better. The movie was a bit long on story but short on special effects. It wasn’t that crowded, given that the movie was out for a month (back when it was a General Cinema). Next year Attack of the Clones will return to AMC for a second time (the first Star Wars movie to play at the first summer it became an AMC), with the next four movies playing in 3d each year until 2017, when Star Wars turn 40.

The front entryway to the AMC Clifton Commons 16 is simmilar to that of the AMC Plymouth Meeting Mall 12 Theatre. http://cinematreasures.org/theaters/20914

Cause GCC knew how to build em! :) Unfortunately didn’t know how to keep em. That theatre was GCC, AMC, Kerasotes, AMC and then a forced sell to Regal. Poor latchkey theatre.

Also similar to the City North in Chicago.
