So the term is Diet IMAX.That must be what we have here in Augusta at the REGAL 20,Diet IMAX.That is a good one Justin.Glad to see you are staying on topic.LOL.
Currently Kerasotes is renovating the theater into a recliner-plex – – the five-year old seats it currently has (which are still in fine shape) were sold to Empire Columbia Park 12, a mile up the road.
Happy fifth anniversary to this theater!!!
Recliner update is complete – I attended a show tonight – – very comfortable, although seat back doesn’t recline as far as Starplex but that might actually be a good thing – the foot rests do extend nearly flat. I suspect going this route they lost less seats in the conversion process and the theatre we were in (a medium-sized one) still boasted a decent seat-count. An usher enforced the new reserved seating policy and checked tickets upon entry to the auditorium.
The sight-lines in the upper stadium portion have changed (the first row is a good 6ft above the handicap rows, almost like a balcony) and made for a very good viewing experience. In essence, a nice, comfortable multiplex just got more comfortable – – I suspect this recliner-plexing with reserved seating may be kind of a test for Kerastoes who has plans to expand their Showplace Icon brand with new complexes in DC and Boston. The screens (proper masking here!), lobby, box-office, concession and rest-rooms haven’t changed.
I just read about the DC metro area theater planned for the Tyson’s ‘Greensboro’ location (as a non ‘Icon’ complex)– I am surprised how close this will be to AMC’s Tysons' mall theater but with the amenities that this location offers it sounds like a much better theater setting. 7.1 surround sound in all it’s auditoriums is a plus, and with Arclight Bethesda proving that Dolby Atmos can be installed in smaller auditoriums there might be an incentive for Kersotes to pony up and prove it’s worth in delivering “ALL Cutting-Edge Digital Projection & Digital Sound”.
question: what projector’s are used here? are they 2K or 4K?
Technically, it’s run by Kerasotes ShowPlace Icon Theatres formerly operated by Kerasotes Theatres
One of the finalists for NJ’s best movie theater.
So a good theater? what is #8 like? It has reserved seating but I’m not sure how to judge it compared to say the standard AMC Rockaway design.
