bigjoe59, the studio announced an expected $110 million opening. That figure was low based on other recent Batman films opening at results much higher than that. The resulting $94 million opening is therefore considered a ‘stumble’.
The big three Broadway landlords are thrilled at the lack of competition. They would want no part of this theatre as it might lower ticket prices. That is why still have huge shut down theatre space on 42nd street.
Unless it is a Nolan, short attention span digital slide show, with muddled mono dialogue, deafening noise and loud music interludes designed to keep audiences awake. Then I stay home and avoid all movie theatres for a while.
The inaudible dialogue issue is not a theatre adjustment problem. They problems continue on the Blu-Ray versions. It is a sound mixing poor production value issue. Most theatres have experienced technicians who visit and check for presentation quality. Perhaps this standard level of checks and balances has been cut down.
“THE OMEN” opened at the National in 1976. The Criterion became a five-plex in 1980. “DIVINE MADNESS” opened there after the ‘plexing’. In 1981 it became a six-plex. In 1991 it became a seven-plex.
Some of those older cinema screens had space behind them for giant speakers on what appeared to be a stage but the area was actually only about five feet deep. When the curved screen was installed for “South Pacific” they probably removed some front seats to accommodate the screen curvature.
You are going to have to scroll her FB feed. I have no idea how you link an individual post, but there are several making fun of her. I go to this theatre often and although they have many other problems, I have never seen or experienced bugs of any kind.
Vindanpar, you must have missed “EVITA”.
??? Your first paragraph seems to contradict your second.
This may have been operating as the LENOX in 1968 advertised for “Coogan’s Bluff” in the NYT.
“THE LION IN WINTER” played here for over a year.
Of all the generic multiplexes in the world, vindanpar pointed out this classic historic beauty as the target of shame. How clueless is that?
vindanpar, the historic lobby of this theatre alone is worth the listing.
ridethectrain. Try. Punctuation. Please.
Operating as the Santurce in 1959-1961.

I don’t know, “THE HIP HOP NUTCRACKER” sounds pretty Brooklyn to me.
That would be the Liberty, robboehm.

Garth, “THE LAST WAVE” opened at the original single screen Beekman, not this one.
ridethectrain, can you please try English. I have no idea what you are trying to say in your last four posts.

moviebuff82, SDDS is (was?)a sound system.

Alpine, how many people were in the audience at each showing? Larger crowds absorb sound.
The Rivoli was twinned in 1981.

It opened on February 4 and played until June 23, 1970. 16 or 17 weeks.
More updates to this false story and the false petition it spurned. http://gothamist.com/2017/10/12/bed_bugs_movies_nyc.php
There has been one single official incident reported against this theatre in 2012. None before or after.
