Comments from Roger Katz - Cinema Treasures

Roger Katz commented about Apple Cinemas Waterbury 10 on Apr 23, 2011 at 5:03 pm

You heard incorrectly.

The owners of the building have been searching for an operator – so far with no success as they are asking for far too much in rent.

Roger Katz commented about Hartford to get Luxury Cinema with Grill on Mar 31, 2011 at 4:14 pm

I have to be skeptical that this will ever get built. If you go to Spotlight Theatres website you’ll see press releases for two theatres (Loganville and Union City, Georgia) that apparently were enver built.

This theatre has been multiplexed. If you look at the floor plan on their website it appears to have four screens now. Info up top should be changed accordingly.

Roger Katz commented about Downing Film Center on Jan 29, 2011 at 9:01 am

THat says they hope to have two screens. There’s a big difference between planning to add one and hoping to add one.
