Sorry, I hear ya' CS. I guess a dollar show is out of the question.
Do you happen to know when they first opened as the Esplanade Theater (or something like that)? Do you know when they reopened as Hollywood 9?
If you really read what I wrote, it should be clear that I agree with you that it probably if not definitely will not survive in its present role as a first-run theater. But the owners might make a go of it as a discount house; only time will tell. This has worked in some other places. But unless they can convert to digital, the theater will almost inevitably close as there will be increasingly no product to show.
CSWalczak, how can you suggest that Hollywood 9 would have even a fighting chance against a massive new movie-house a stone’s throw (literally)away? THey are not successful now.
From what I saw Saturday Night, it might close well before that.
I would not be surprised if this theater either becomes a discount house or closes entirely when the new theater opens. As a small independent operation, the owners may well be facing the challenge of going digital and making other upgrades that the new Kenner theater will have from the get-go.
By the way when did the UA Pavillion 8 in Kenner close. How long was it opened?
I went there Saturday, November 10, 2012 to see “Skyfall”. I hadn’t been to this area in six months, and noticed that with the huge development of the new movie theater the mall looked more desolate then ever. And with that and the closing of the road on the other side Hollywood 9 looks more isolated then ever. There were less than 20 people watching the show.
There is a picture of the theater’s entrance here and there are additional pictures on its page at CinemaTour.
