Landmark events on Cinema Treasures
It seems like only yesterday (well it was September 10, 2007 actually) that we boasted the 1,000th United Kingdom cinema/movie theater to be entered on the Cinema Treasures database. We can now reveal that this figure has been doubled, thanks to our volunteer Theater Editor Ken Roe (who is based in London, UK) and the many dedicated contributors throughout the world who have made such a marked input on this section of the site. Congratulations to all concerned in making this Landmark event….2,000+ and counting……..
As if this wasn’t enough……Cinema Treasures has also attained another Landmark event……
The United Kingdom section of Cinema Treasures can now boast to be the first major country on our ‘Locations’ that has listings for ALL currently operating cinemas represented. Again Ken Roe and many other mainly UK contributors have achieved the mammoth task of building a database list of every ‘open’ cinema in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Our pages range from the latest city multiplex and megaplex to the restored ‘classic’ cinema buildings, and also include the art centres and public halls which keep the magic of cinema alive in the small towns and villages. Again congratulations are in order for this outstanding achievement.

Cinema Treasures is site of the week
Cinema Treasures is the site of the week on the AMCTV Blog, Future of Classic.
Whether you’re looking for the best place to see The Dark Knight or trying to find out what happened to the Roxy in New York, Cinema Treasures can help. Film historian Ross Melnick and web designer Patrick Crowley started the site in 2000 to help save classical movie theaters, but it’s really a celebration of moviegoing — past, present and future. “We learned that you can’t classify anyone’s theater as not important,” says Melnick. Though many cinema lovers are preservationists, “People forge this weird bond with their theater no matter what it looks like or how historic it is,” adds Crowley.
Check out the nice write up at the link above.

Cinema Treasures reaches 20,000 theaters!
All of us at Cinema Treasures are excited to announce that we have just added our 20,000th theater! There are now detailed listings from over 115 countries.
Thank you to all of our wonderful, dedicated users. And, of course, without Bryan Krefft and Ken Roe, this milestone would never have been possible.
There are many wonderful things in store for Cinema Treasures in the coming months and we look forward to bringing them to you as soon as we can. In the meantime, please accept our heartiest thanks and appreciation for all of your support over the past seven years.
There’s much more excitement to come in 2008.
Warmest Regards,
Patrick Crowley and Ross Melnick

Yesterday’s outage
Our apologies to anyone who was unable to use Cinema Treasures yesterday.
We suffered a large power outage at our data center, and it took almost eight hours for all of the servers to come back online.
Power outages are rare in the hosting business, but they do happen. Thanks for your patience.

New Theater Editing Policy
In order to improve the consistency and quality of Cinema Treasures, we have crafted a new editing policy for the site.
If you’re submitting new theaters or adding information to existing theaters, you should definitely take a moment to read the policy. And your suggestions are welcome, too. Please post any comments, questions, or suggested additions to this thread.
It is worth noting, of course, that we will do our best to retroactively edit our nearly 20,000 listings, but this will be a long process.
Thank you,
Cinema Treasures
