The Joy theatre on Canal St is for sale as I beleive is the old Loews State on Canal St. You can pull up both thetares here. There is also a great documentary called No More Joy that gives the history of the theatre. It’s available through Amazon.
I was in Miami Beach in March and the theatre is well maintained. Unfortunatley the former Surf which is around the corber and housed Med Fit Gym for many years has closed. Veneviosn International which ha studios int he oild Shore theatre across the street had posters in the window, but no mention of taking it over.
Looking at the picture, is that still the box office in the front? I know the enterence is now on the side like the Moorlyn. It’s amazing how the Frank’s ruin every theatre they get their hands on.
I think that Mayor Nutter’s support is extremly important. I can’t see that between now and July 16 he would pull the plug. The Boyd/SamEric was an important part of my life in Phila. The first time I went to this great theatre was in 1972 during the roadshow engagement of Man Of La Mancha and didn’t return until 1975 when I saw GWTW, but after that I was a regualr customer until I moved to Fla in 1983. On a retrun visit in 1991 at Christmas, I sawe Hook there.
This was originally Hunt’s Rio Twin. This theatre was the only one in the area that was open all year round. I don’t think this was part of the original sale of Hunt theatre’s to Frank theatre’s.
The last time I was in New Orelans was 2003 Labor Day weekend and they were showing movie classics all weekend. As much as I wanted to go, I didn’t because it just didn’t feel safe.

As you mentioned above, Carmike remodeled the Hillsboro 8 in 1999. I can never find any listings on this theatre so I assume it’s closed.
When it opened in the 80’s it was the most luxousious theatre in the Tampa are. Are auditoriums had purple curtains that opened up and down and very comnfortable seats. Originally the theatre was operated by Plitt than sodl to Cineplex Odeon
Well it is a great concept. The one in Asheville is really doing well as you know by the USA article last week. Plus, the food is good quality better than some restaurants.

Sorry for the delay in getting you the information. Cinebarre will open the next theatre in Mt Pleasanr in June and another theatre in July in Denver. Unfortunately we are losing the wonderful general manager we have here Brooke. She will be going to the Denver location.
The Lyric on 42nd was paritally torn down. What they did was they took part of the old Apollo theatre and the Lyric and built the Hilton Theatre which is a legit broadway house.
To be honest, the local Carmike in Asheville switched to DLP projection about a year ago and I see no difference in the picture quality. Of course this theatre and chain is the pits so they probibly purchased a cheap system or are false advertising. When a chain charges more for a large popcorn and is smaller than Regal’s medium something is not right.

Any information on when Mama Mia is opening. I bet they will keep it for a Christmas release. I wold love to see a preview of it.
If they do this, I will not go to any Regal theatres anymore.
So will Samsra be shown in regualr theatres or just Imax?
This is stupid. Bring back 70mm
