the cinema closes on thursday the 17th so if you want to go and see a film there before it closes better hurry. I went to see I Am Legend in the large screen 1 this week .You do really feel very small sitting in the huge auditorium.
HI Peter
I noticed that the Cinema had reached its 40th year. the Cinema is exactly the same age as me.
it is amazing that it has lasted this long really, espescially during the last 7 year where I think that the various owners have had a real struggre to keep it open.
I visited the cinema Last November to say farewell and to visit the projection room one last time.
The manager came up half way through the films and told the projectonist to turn off the bulbs on all three projectors as there wasnt a single person in any of the screens watching the fils. Very sad.
The cinema has had a few different names sice the year 2000 including “metro” “city” and “reel”. but it will always be The Newport ABC to me. “GOODBYE ABC"
