The article also said that this is probably short lived because of the fil mindustry going digital in Dec.

Need to update to 3 screens. The 3 smaller screens were added in front of the large single screen that once was the only screen. The large original screen was kept in tact after the 3 new smaller ones were added.

Actually I wish they wold bring back 70MM This new 3D phase sucks. I have seen 3 3D movies since they started with Avitar and don’t find anything impressive about it excpet it’s a way to rip us off for more money at the box office. The old 3D years ago never involved additional money.

Ok I am confused. Is the above photo a new photo or an old one. In looking throught the photos I saw on that showed the marquee totally gone and a new front for the Rock Church.

Snow White and The Huntsman opens June 1 in digital.It has never been unusual for theaters to close for a few weeks. When I lived in NYC in the late 70’s and early 80’s they did it all the time.I remember they played New York New York from Memorial day weekend until the Thursday before labor day and than closed and had nothing for labor day weekend. They reopened a few weeks later.

It didn’t say REgal. I went to Tally many times between 1986 and 1990. There was a UA theater that operated as a $1.00 discount house, a theater in a small mall and a theater operated by Eastern Federal theaters right near the Governors mall. I don’t find any of these listed here on CT.
