TheatreBuff, I happen to know members of the AMC Orleans 8 management, and they came from AMC Neshaminy 24.
In fact, AMC Neshaminy 24 provided managers to; AMC Orleans 8, AMC Franklin Mills 14, AMC Hamilton 24, AMC Plymouth Cinema 12, AMC Loews Lincoln Square 12, AMC Santa Anita 14, AMC Bay Street 16, and AMC Deptford 8 Theatres.
MikeH: The Cineplex Odeon chain that is in Canada is a seperate company from AMc Theatres. The Cineplex Odeon name on theatres in the US are on theatres that, at least in NY/NJ area, are from the former RKO Century Warner theatre chain. Most newspapers advertise Cineplex Odeon as “AMC Loews”. i have a feeling that AMC may eventually drop the Cineplex Odeon name alltogether.
The Star name is on theatres in Detroit, Mi that were bought originally by Loews/Sony Theatres.
I work at a AMC Theatres in the Philadelphia, PA area. 2 of AMC’s Philadelphia theatres were from the old Budco Theatres chain.
Mikeh: Peter Brown is still the Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and President of AMC Entertainment Inc., and is only the third Chairman of the Board for AMC Entertainment Inc., suceeding Stanley Durwood, and founder Ed Durwood. Phil Singelton is the president of American Multi-Cinema Inc., which operates under the AMC, Loews, Cineplex Odeon, Magic Johnson, and Star names.

The Big Screen concerts are only being shown in certain theatres that are associated with National Cine Media.
The only Big Screen Concert’s NJ location is: REG Commerce Center Stadium 18 Theatre, in New Brunswick. The PA locations are: AMC Neshaminy 24 Theatre (Bensalem), Cinemark Pittsburgh Mills 17 Theatre (Tarentum), REG Harrisburg Stadium 14 Theatre (Harrisburg), REG King of Prussia Stadium 16 Theatre (King of Prussia), REG Riverview Stadium 17 Theatre (Philadelphia), and REG Warrington Crossing Stadium 22 Theatre (Warrington).
Ramon Posel, who also built the Leo Theatre, in NE Philadelphia, as well as the Bucks Mall Colonial Theatre, in Feasterville, and the Premiere Theatre, in Bensalem, opened the Ritz 3 Theatre in 1976. Eveentually the Leo, Bucks Mall Colonial, and Premiere Theatres were sold to Stanley Durwood’s American Multi Cinema Incorporated (AMC Theatres) empire.
It was around 1967 when Pacific Theatres' Stanley Warner Theatres division and RKO Theatres merged and became Pacific Theatres' RKO Stanley Warner division. In 1981, Pacific Theatres sold RKO Stanley Warner to Almi/Century Theatres, thus creating RKO Century Warner Theatres. Today, RKO Century Warner Theatres sucessor, through mergers, is AMC Theatres.
It will be impossibile for me to go out to the “Boyd/Sameric” event this Friday, since I will be working at my theatre (AMC Neshaminy 24 Theatre), with the opening weekend of “Poseidon” this weekend. (weekend of 5/12/2006)
This theatre, as of 5/5/2006, is now known as “Frank Theatres' Montgomeryville 7 Theatre”. I am guessing Regal has finally given up on this former Sameric Theatres property.
National Theatres had two Fox Theatres that were seperate from Fox West Coast Theatres, Fox Mid-West Theatres, Fox Wisconsin Theatres, and Fox Inter-Mountain Theatres. They were this Fox Theatre, and The Fox Theatre in Philadelphia. The Fox Theatre in Philadelphia was built by Stanley and Jules Mastbaum, of The Stanley Company of America (later known through mergers as Stanley Warner Theatres, RKO Stanley Warner Theatres, RKO Century Warner Theatres, Cineplex Odeon Theatres, and now as AMC Loews Theatres). I believe National Theatres purchased The Fox in Philadelphia from Stanley Warner in 1946, and later sold it to Milgram Theatres in 1969.
When The Fox Theatre in Philadelphia closed in 1980, it’s former backstage area was a seperate theatre, called Milgram’s Stage Door Cinema Theatre. The Fox Theatre in Philadelphia was a 100% duplicate of the Loew’s State Theatre in NYC.
Found this on eBay, but it appears that, before Milgram Theatres owned the Fox Theatre, and after Stanley Warner owned it, The Fox Theatre was owned by National Theatres Inc., who also owned Fox West Coast Theatres Corp. (today known as Mann Theatres), and The Fox Theatre in Detroit, and The Roxy Theatre in NYC
The movie theatre industry in Delaware survived when they received slots at the racetracks. The same thing is going on with the slots in NY state (The slots in NYC haven’t happened yet because NYRA is too busy creating their own problems to property construct a slot parlor at Aqueduct Racetrack).
The pre-show “First Look” is shown, as either “Regal First Look” or “AMC First Look”, since National CineMedia, the company that does the pre-show, is owned by Regal Entertainment Group, AMC Entertainment, and Cinemark Theatres.

2 of the AMC Loews Cherry Hill 24 Theatre’s managers from when it was Loews Cineplex Cherry Hill 24 Theatre now are at the AMC Neshaminy 24 Theatre.

It is a recent picture of the marquee of the Boyd/Sameric Theatre, taken on 5/4/2006.
Regal Cinemas Barn Plaza Stadium 14 Theatre was built on the site of the former AMC (Budco) Barn 5 Theatre.
Does anyone know the seat count at the Regal Barn Plaza Stadium 14 Theatre?
16 screen of “Revenge Of The Sith” on 5/18/2005 “Midnight Show for 5/19/2005”.

It’s actually called AMC Loews Universal City 18 Theatre (or AMC Universal City 18 Theatre for short) since 1/27/2006
The movie theatre industry in Delaware survived when they received slots at the racetracks. The same thing is going on with the slots in NY state (The slots in NYC haven’t happened yet because NYRA is too busy creating their own problems to property construct a slot parlor at Aqueduct Racetrack).
Does anyone know if there are any pictures of the 309 Cinema that shows what it looked like when Budco Theatres first opened it in 1968?
does anyone know if theare are pictures anywhere of the long-gone William Goldman’s (Budco/AMC) Andorra 8 Theatre?
So, which one is the correct address: 92-11 165th Street, 92-23 165th Street, or 165-11 Jamaica Avenue?
The pre-show “First Look” is shown, as either “Regal First Look” or “AMC First Look”, since National CineMedia, the company that does the pre-show, is owned by Regal Entertainment Group, AMC Entertainment, and Cinemark Theatres.
Quick question: Does anyone know when “On a Clear Day You Can See Forever” was released to the Boyd Theatre? I think it was around December 1970.
hdtv267, that was just my own opinion of whjat the “world class” theatres in the Philadelphia area are today.
