Noticed a thank you to the owner of the theater in the end credits of Shortcomings. Anyone know if this was used for some of the “Berkeley” movie theatre scenes in the movie?
So I guess I got to see markp in the booth when I did my Barbenheimer on Saturday. Glad there is still a 70mm screen in Paramus, which was the closest place for it to where I grew up. Couldn’t believe how immense the Dolby Cinema screen is for a flat movie. Fifty feet tall? Sixty? Huge.
they still haven’t finished the RPX renovation. Considering how across the street everyone goes first to buy IMAX, Prime and Dolby tickets at the Empire, why don’t they want to finish their RPX renovation? They haven’t been selling 13 screens not in months but in years. I just clicked every Regal location in New Jersey as a decent sample size, and all of them have showings for dates after March 30. This is as close to going week by week as you can get.
The escalator to Cinema One was finally in use fkr 80 For Brady. It could have been running by the end of 2022 except that it took three or four months for the city to inspect after the actual work had been completed.
is it closing? tickets still listed for sale many months from now, Is it possible that Regal filed to reject the lease in order to escape deferred rents from the pandemic, after which a new lease comes into effect?
This used to be an in place to see a movie. I did a comment Dec 2021 that I didn’t see the appeal of coming here when the close by AMCs had nice recliners, and when I occasionally checked the seating availability for movies opening here and Lincoln Square over the last several months did some double takes how few advance seats were being sold here vs for Lincoln Square. I am both surprised and not surprised that it is closing. Ironically, Regal website has showtimes for sale here well into the future while the eWalk only until March 2,
But, the RPX that has been under renovation for forever still hasn’t reopened. There is the court filing which allows for Regal to reject the lease as of January 15, https://www.reddit.com/r/RegalUnlimited/comments/yov0hh/new_list_of_leases_to_be_rejected_in_bankruptcy/
and as of now this is the only Regal in NYC not selling tickets after January 12. The event in March is no longer on sale.
There are some locations on that list where new lease terms must have been agreed. The Ballston Common and the Lincolnshire are on the PDF but have tickets on sale well into 2023. But the E-Walk is on that list, and ain’t got seats on sale after January 12. And 22 months since NYC movie houses reopened, box office is still way way down, and yet not a single Manhattan multiplex is going to be a casualty? There are 25 screens across the street, another dozen on 34th Street. If there is to be a casualty…
But I was wrong about Dec. 29, and who knows, maybe the landlord will reduce the rent by 75% or something in the next couple weeks.
Looks like the last day of business for the Regal E-Walk will be December 29. Other Regal locations in the city have various showings for advance sale in January, but nothing to be found here.
have now seen four movies here on four different screens since the introduction of the Laser by AMC projection and am impressed. The theaters actually seem dark when the movie is showing, thanks to richer deeper blacks that make me realize way more than the Dolby Cinema even what we missed in the transition to digital projection. This is also a location where I saw too many movies with a bulb that had passed its “best by” date, and in theory I shouldn’t have to worry about that with the new laser system. And, happy 28th birthday!
This location is now tagged with Laser at AMC on the website so appears to be one of the early locations to get this upgrade that was announced in April
Only a handful of screens are open right now, so I went searching and found the link below which indicates a major upgrade is in process. The AMC dine in in Levittown has a “Laser at AMC” tag now.
Spotted some rolls of carpeting near the entrances to screens 11/12 and 16/17, but, yeah, they are overdue to re-seat the auditoria. I like the idea of putting recliners in some of the larger screens. Even for popular movies the crowds book the PLF screens in advance, while 9/12/13/14/17 go begging for customers. Prime might be a better choice than Dolby Cinema because the contractual PLF bookings usually give AMC some flex with Prime. The two TG: Maverick screenings a day on Prime here are the only Manhattan PLF showings while the dinosaurs chow down.
the current box office is in around one third the space of the original box office, not the former Starbucks space, which is still there and empty. The Regal lettering has been taken off the blade sign that was one of the distinctive features of the exterior, and there’s smaller Regal signage below the blade and above the entrance. And across the street the Empire has some rolls of carpeting in the corridors.
Auditorium 6 is no longer being used to show movies. It has become an eSports arena. The other 8 screens are business as usual, but the signage within the mall for the ancillary use is so predominant that it’s more the ability to spot the concession stand as you walk by than a Vue sign that announces you’ve arrived.
Well well, looks like this is coming back to life under the same ownership as three NYC theatres as an eightplex. https://www.mamaroneckcinemas.com/about
Seems like all screens are scope. Theatres 6 thru 9 are on the third floor. Theatres 1 thru 4 are on the lobby level. The Big Show screen is the only on the second level, and I uploaded a photo of the entrance to that screen, which is around twice the width as I paced it of the 70:seat screen 8. Screen 4 was a couple paces wider than Screen 8, and even the smallest screen looked more than adequate. No stadium seating to speak of, really. The back half has a little bit of a rise. The Big Show screen is so big that I felt I was a little close seeing a movie in wide screen sitting in the 6th of 8 rows, and I wouldn’t much want to be in the first three or four rows for scope or the front couple rows for anything. But it’s a wonderfully big screen; nothing can entirely replace the balcony of the Uptown but people in DC have a new huge screen to enjoy, and this is a welcome addition to the DC moviegoing experience. A server told me the private pre opening gala was a screening of Independence Day. If you are looking at the photo of the theatre on the home page, the Big Show screen is on the right side, the Alamo sign about where the top is, and the eight other screens are stacked four and four on the left side.
Though the auditoriums are small, the screens are decently sized and have excellent sound. Because the screens are oversize relative to the auditorium size, I recommend sitting as far back as possible. And allow lots of time for going down multiple flights of escalators with the theatres one level below the lobby, which is itself three levels below street level.

Right now more accurately a 15 screen, since the VR area built in the Theatre 1 space doesn’t appear to be a thing any more,

Article in June 30 issue of Newsday said all sorts of permitting issues found during inspection, and reopening delayed indefinitely.

There are no showtimes on sale after March 16. There were showtimes on sale for later dates just a few days ago. So…

Website announces that theatre is closing and that last day of business is January 8, 2023.
A Christmas miracle! Showtimes now up thru mid February.
I was incorrect about December 29.

I am counting showtimes displaying today for twelve screens so it’s strange that it’s still called the 24 even on AMC’s website

Just a few days shy of its 50th birthday.
uploaded a view of the new Regal blade taken from the exit of the AMC across the street.
