Yep I remember you now we did know each other. My ex Benny Rivera worked there for years. Joe died about 20 plus years ago from lung cancer. There was also a Spanish girl that worked the box office Martha. I worked the whole engagement of Airplane. Every night I would pick up something new.

I must have known you Marcy. I was at the Festival from 80-late 83. My ex worked there. Joe Torres was a good friend of ours. Do you remember Maria Irene Cara’s mom who was a cashier at the Festival?

I remember Theresa. I worked at the Festival. The Kips Bay and the Forum in Times Square were the only two theaters that played ET. It was shown in 70MM aspect ratio 1.85, but Spielberg required the masking not be closed. I saw the original letter from Universal Studios and Spielberg. I also saw Urban Cowboy here and a movie with Jill Clayborough. It’s My Turn. They did have great red curtains.

Jaws played here all summer in 1975. The Atlantic Drive In which was part of the complex closed at the end of the 73 season as did many Atlantic City theaters.

This theater is amazing. They are following Covid protocols checking vaccinations and not selling tickets at full capacity.

The screen in The Coronet was huge. They had great tan curtains that rolled up.

I grew up at this drive in and the Family Drive In. Was this drive in always owned by SamEric Corp? The Eric name never appeared until the middle 70’s

From what I heard on the news last night everyone indoors in NY is required to wear a mask no matter what the vaccinations status was. I thought Broadway has had mandatory masks no matter what your vaccination status is.

She was talking about directing for the first time. The movie opens Friday and will be on Netflix the end of the month. It’s called the Lost Daughter with Olivia Coleman.

The local Regal here told me that they are removing all box offices in all their theaters and replacing them with Kiosks. That pisses me off because it take away jobs

When it was demolished it became a Popeye’s chicken before it was a McDonald’s. Saw two movies there Darby O Gill And The Little People and 2001.
