    Lorraine Cinemas to present “The Wizard of Oz” on the BIG SCREEN

    HOOPESTON, IL — CineMajestic LLC, the region’s leader for State-of-the-Art sound, lowest prices, and the most spacious and comfortable theatres continues its celebration of classic film at the Historic Lorraine Cinema with “The Wizard of Oz”, starring Judy Garland on Friday April 16th through Monday April 19th.

    “We had such a great response to Gone With the Wind in October, and I’d say every third person asked for The Wizard of Oz, so here it is, and remastered for our elite Sound system.” stated Joshua Caudle, owner of the Historic Lorraine Cinema.

    The Lorraine Cinema was originally opened as a live house in 1922 and features a full balcony, newly expanded stage for live events, and classic historic artwork throughout. Last year, all new seating was installed with an industry leading five foot wide spacing between rows of seats to maximize comfort and eliminate any visual obstruction for films.

    Denver approves seasonal commercial outdoor cinema in city park

    DENVER, CO — For thirty days during the next three summers, movie patrons in the Mile High City will have a movie-going alternative. The city has approved a contract with US Open Air LLC to operate a 1,400 seat operation. Films will be shown on a screen thirty feet tall in an outdoor area of Denver’s Civic Center in 2010, and in Denver’s City Park in 2011 and 2012. Tickets will be $15 in advance and $20 at the site. Some Council members objected to the commercialization of a historically public space.

    A 30-foot-tall screen would be lowered each day, although the grandstand, nearly the same height, would remain in place. The shows are proposed for Civic Center this summer and in City Park for the summers of 2011 and 2012.

    Supporters said it represents a wonderful opportunity for the city to make some money while detractors said the city will receive only a pittance compared with what the operator stands to earn. Open Air has operated similar packages in cities around the world for roughly 20 years. This would be its first showing in North America.

    Here’s the full story from the Denver Post.
