Acording to the Frank Theater web site it lists only showings for 9 screens. It was changed to 11 when Frank’s took it over. Please correct information at the top showing 15 screens

Markp I agree Cinemark should level this theater and either take a loss of start from scratch and build a new more modern multiplex that would have no reminder of the tragedy.
Apparently American Classic Images which had tons of wonderful theater pictures is out os business. When you click on any of the links it says domain for sale. :(
Has this theater closed also? The posting on the Sea Theater which is now closed said it was the last operating theater in Wildwood.Wildwood had great theaters when I was growing up. UGH If so update status to closed.
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.
Went to this theater 2 times. Once in the 60’s and saw a double feature The Cincinatti Kid and The Hill and again in 1983 and saw Snow WHite and another Disney movies. Both times all films were flat. B+NEver saw a scope movie on there big screen.
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.
The screen looks very square and small and not capable of showing movies in scope.

Very well said Ritchie_T
Forgot to add this until today I didn’t know Century still had theaters in operation.
I don’t agree Chuck this site and pages are abouot specific theaters and comments are about what goes on at the theater if they are good or bad.
WHy would someone bring a 3 motnh old baby to a midnight movie? That is really stupid.
It had a great curtain that was the same design that the 69th St theater had.
Is it still closing at the end of this season?

What happened to the Strand4?
The article also said that this is probably short lived because of the fil mindustry going digital in Dec.
So is the closure permanant or temporary?

I went to this theater onxw in 1983 and saw Snow White re release. At that time there were no curtains.
The last year of operation was 1982

Why wasn’t the Ziegfeld on this list? Once again they give megaplexes everything.
Great theater and they got a grant and they were able to install digital projection.
