According to the Frank Theater web site, the theater is scheduled to re-open on May 25,2007. So much for their greed and wanting to have the theater demolished.
Dreamgirls received great reviews excpet for thr Times. What a bunch of idiots they have for reviewers. They were the onlyones who did’t like the new braodway musical Mary Poppins.
Well it will be interesting to see if the film was shot in scope since it definately was not shot in 70mm. Poor Bill Condon got a slap in the face today not getting a best director or screenplay in the Golden Globe nominations. Clint Eastwood getting two for Flags of Our Fathers and the Japaneese version was ridiculous condier neither picture got a best picture or any other nominations. At least Dreamgirls got 3 acting nods plus a Best Picure nod.

No it wasn’t Village East. It was Cinema Village East and the address looked like it was on the upper east side maybe around the 50’s. MAybe it was a misprint in the paper.
I don’t understand this lawsuit. Usually theaters have hearing devices for the deaf and why would a blind person go to a movie? AMC is not one of my favorite chains since they were at the root of all our old historic theaters disappearing with there twining and now mutilplexes, but they are getting a bum rap here.
I don’t understand what the purpose is for the Frank’s to apply for a demolition permit. Do they intend onrebuilding a stadium theater? They have always been the pits of theater owners. Ilive in NC and it worries me that they are opening a lot of theaters in this state.
This theater was built when they demolished the South Phils drive in to build Veterans stadium. After being in operation a few years it was twinned then just closed.It probibly closed around 1973 when George Hamid closed his theater sin Atlantic City.
Does anybody know which chain ran this theater? I remember righ on the beach there was a GCC twin in the 70’s that was sold to AMC. Of course they closed it.
I saw in Sunday’s paper the Ziegfeld is having the premiere of Dreamgirls. They are offering $25.00 tickets which include reser ed seats and something else I can’t remember.
Looking at the photot posted by Cinemark Fan, it look slike the restaurant had what look slike a movie marquee. Was there another theater in the spot where the restaurant was?
I went by the theater a few weeks ago and this is what is happening. They spent $100,000.00 renovating the front and the lobby. The box office is beautiful as is the whole front. The lobby is being used by the owners right now as a real estae office. The plans are to renovate the auditorium which was condemened in 1993 and open as a dinner theate within the next 1-2 years. I will try to take a photo when I return there next week.
I love all the pictures and stuff but my work has blocked Flickr so I can’t see anything. This really pisses me off.
Was this a theare AMC had tro sell from the purchase of Loews?

I am confused. Is tis theater showing porn and first run movies?
What about the former DeMille Aka Embassy 2,3 4. It is long overdue tobe reopened.
When I lived in NYC 76-83 the Ziegfeld screen was very large. HAs it been replaced since that time?
Any chance there is of this theater opening?

That would be great Robert. We should try to find out the e-mail address and send them this suggestion.
Is this the same Moss family that owned the Criterion on broadway?
I don’t know why Clearview or Regal doesn’t come in and reopen this theater.
