Hello-
to moviebuff82- thanks for your reply but I am still perplexed as to where the making of doc is. the snap case says its on the Blu-ray but its not. so is it in fact on the 4K disc?
The tenet bluray also has the teaser trailer in its original aspect ratio as well as other trailers in that ratio. I hear rumors about Cinemark taking over this location as well as the Empire if AMC files for bankruptcy. This will give Cinemark its first entry into the NYC market with two major theaters. Maybe they should also take over the Orpheum as that theater hasn’t been renovated before the Pandemic hit. the closest cinemark where I live is in Wayne where it competes with the AMC and Wayne movietown, which is closed indefintely. For the imax, Cinemark might make it into a giant XD screen therefore ending its run as an IMAX venue, leaving behind the Nature Max as a true imax but they only run nature documentaries.
Hello-
since theaters in NYC haven’t been opened since March 16 I just got to see Tenet on blu-ray which was released this past Tues. considering the mixed reviews the film got from what people did get to see it I thought my reaction would be mixed as well but it wasn’t. two questions-
*one complaint some people had was not understanding the dialogue in some scenes. what scenes were being referred to? I had very little problem understanding the dialogue.
*also the back of the case says there’s a making of doc.
not on the 4K but on the blu-ray. but the blu-ray disc
doesn’t have a making of doc. what gives?
the reason that people are not going to the movies that much is that attendance is down because of TV, home media like VHS, cable TV, and streaming.
I would have to disagree that it will have very little impact. I think it will have tremendous impact, although time will tell. Even before COVID, AMC theaters across the chain averaged ticket sales of only 92 tickets per day, per screen. From 2015 to 2019, AMC (which is the largest chain) lost $289 million. During the first two quarters of this year, AMC lost over $563 million and by the end of the year, it will probably be $1 billion.
So theaters are going to have a tough time surviving in any case.
Now throw in day-and-date streaming and a generation of people who are happy streaming on small screens and I personally don’t see how theaters can survive. Personally, I love going to movie theaters, but during the week, before COVID, whenever I went to see a film, there were few people in the theater. That’s not sustainable anywhere, but especially not in such an expensive city like NYC.
I think the only hope for movie theaters is if the studios buy them. But they might not care. Disney+ now has over 80 million subscribers. That will generate $7.68 billion per year and Disney keeps most of that money (no distributor shares). They may decide they don’t need the theaters.
Having said that, theaters could survive if people actually attended, but they don’t. In 2019 there were about 23.9m admissions per week. It was 50-60m in 1950 and 85-90m each year from 1945 to 1948.
Disney also is making their upcoming cartoon next year also available on Disney Plus, Raya and the Dragon, for premium access, simliar to what they did with Mulan although Mulan came out internationally outside the US where Disney Plus wasn’t available. As for Tenet, it’s coming to 4k bluray next tuesday in its imax version and will have subtitles for those who have a hard time hearing what the characters say in the sound mix.
Very little impact.
Hello-
a question to my fellow moviegoers especially regulars at this theater. how much impact will the Warner HBO Max deal actually have on theaters?
Tenet will also get it’s deserved IMAX showing in TLC and AMC in LA
Their always the chance it will be shown, movies had played simultaneously as home video. Probably, won’t play in all NYC theatres, but will get 70MM IMAX and 70MM film showing. Theatres like Lincoln Square, Cinema 1, Village East and Alamo Drafthouse Downtown Brooklyn. Nolan would want New Yorkers to see it in 70MM IMAX.
Looks like Tenet won’t be playing here after all. It’s coming to home video on December 15th.
I don’t know the exact reason why Gov. Murphy allowed the theaters to reopen, but many other states have also reopened their theaters.
All the precautionary measures that you mentioned are in place. The two times I went to a theater since they reopened, there were hardly any people in them. NYC and LA theaters are most likely still closed because of their large populations. I did feel safe in those two theaters, but I have to agree with Al that there is hardly anything out there worth seeing.
Hello-
to Bill H.- you obviously live in New Jersey. what was Governor Murphy’s rationale behind letting movie theaters re-open?
Joe, you can take the PATH train to NJ from 14th St. or 23rd St., get off at Newport station, and go see Tenet at the AMC theaters in Newport Mall. There are 4 showings tomorrow.
I would go if there were any films worth bothering to see.
Hello-
I haven’t been to a movie since i saw Onward at the AMC 19th St. on Sat. March 14th. I would love to go to the movies again. since everyone would be masked and cleaning would be done between screenings and the capacity would be capped at 25& I’d go. what do my fellow NYC moviegoers say?
I’m going to attempt to see it in Baby IMAX Laser at Regal Deer Park 16, don’t know when it will be in IMAX 70MM and I don’t trust DeBlasio putting a no refreshment band at the beginning. A 2 ½ movie, need refreshments.
I really wanted to like it, but it was so confusing I couldn’t follow the plot. About 30 minutes before the end, I just gave up trying. Bigjoe, I hope you like it more than I did. And if you’re tired of waiting for the theaters to reopen, come to NJ!
Hello-
to Bill H.- thanks for your reply. movie theaters in NYC have been closed since March 16th. there’s a YouTube channel that reviews films i like quite a bit. someone from Canada write in saying he had seen the film 3 times in IMAX and he and his friends were going back this weekend. I can’t believe a Christopher Nolan film can be that uneven. hopefully theaters in NYC will re-open soon so I can judge for myself.
New Jersey theaters are open, right across the Hudson River. I saw Tenet in Hoboken NJ on opening weekend in September. I agree that it was a bad movie, and even 70mm would not have helped.
Hello-
to hdtv267. in your reply to moviebuff82’s comment on wanting to see Tenet in this theater’s IMAX auditorium you say “ its a bad film no matter what format its shown in”. NYC movie theaters have been closed since Mon. 3/16. so might I ask where you saw Tenet?
If this theater reopens soon could they show a 70mm print of Tenet in Imax?
The 70mm list compiled by Coate/Kallay shows the first regular run of 70mm at Lincoln Square was THE MASTER in September, 2012.
