Located just off Route 46 in Morris County’s biggest city, this theatre has been entertaining audiences for a long time. It was taken over by Clearview Cinemas in November 1997.

Will Clearview upgrade all of the screen to digital 4k?
I worked concession/usher at the AMC Inner Theatre one summer while in high school, and then worked as an usher at this theatre during my first year in college. I was hired when they were just about to open and construction was to supposed to complete and was behind schedule. The opening was rushed and not all screens were complete. I remember carpeting not being finished too.
Its interesting to hear about the sound complaints. I’m particularly aware of them, because there was a dispute between the owner and the construction company over the way that the walls separating the theaters were built or insulated, which allowed sound to bleed through, that I believe led to a significant delay in the construction company being paid after it opened.
Around the corner from the ticket sales is a window that faces the concession stand. It used to be a one-way mirror from the manager’s office.
One of the coolest parts of this theatre was/is the projection area on the second floor. The door to the stairs that lead up to it are acros from the concession stand and near the manager’s office.
I remember the projection area being a “T” hallway with all the projectors openly visible. The audio was CD-based, which from reading elsewhere on this site sounds like it might have been DTS. They were a non-union projectionist shop, which meant that you could gain experience and then try to join the union. I only ever remember one projectionist, who would wonder into the theatre every now and then and then disappear up those stairs. The managers also did projection work, as needed. I really wanted to become a projectionist, but the opportunity only came as I was leaving to focus on school, and sadly couldn’t pursue it.
The son of the owner was a manager there. As was a previous manager of their Succasunna theatre. Both nice guys. I ran into the owner’s son somewhere, after I left and after they had sold the theatre. I remember him saying that they left the theatre business and went into the technology business.
Aspen Extreme and Dumb & Dumber are the earliest movies that I remember there. I remember closing every night for weeks when the last movie to “get out” was Pulp Fiction and watched the last hour of it so many times that I was able to tell how certain sequences of the movie were shot and edited.
It was probably the best, if least paid, job I’ve ever had.
I can’t believe any local would take in a Projectionist trained by a non-union projectionist.And this in New Jersey!Don’t believe it.Mike local 629.

Went to see “The Watch” in theater #3, which is sandwhich between two larger houses that have digital surround sound and probably digital projection that passed some subwoofer noises to this small screen. Presentation was film and was in good condition. Sound was mono. Theater was packed yesterday because of free movie tuesday. The Parking lot around the theater is usually full, so park near any store that’s a good walking distance away from the main complex and watch out for cars!!!
