You might want to add to the description the theatre is in direct competition with the Cinemark Willowbrook Mall. Both theatres are on the mall property and now both AMC and Cinemark show the same films.

Does the Paris still selling refreshments since Netflix is the running the theatre? I remember prior to Loews taking control, the theatre didn’t sell refreshments.

AMC and Regal are building new screens and renovating theatres without masking. Some AMC theatres have wide screen auditoriums that a scope film won’t be distracting. The AMC Village VII (screens 1, 2 and 3 are scope screens), AMC 19th Street East (1, 2,4,5 and 6 are scope screens, haven’t seen theatre 3) and AMC Roosevelt Field #3 and #8 are scope screens.

Some of the early AMC renovations to recliners have masking, but now AMC is opting for NO MASKING. Hopefully, when the AMC 34th is done, it should all be scope screens.

At Lincoln Square, avoid the downstairs screens #10 thru 12, the masking for FLAT films are smaller when they went digital.

ridethectrain commented about AMC Roosevelt Field 8 on Jan 13, 2020 at 7:57 pm

In the remarks, It wasn’t rebuilt from scratch. The 8 screen complex remained the same, with the exception was the front part of the original Century being extended to make it ADA accessible, and moving the balcony of the theatre redone with entrances in the back and the 1987 extension remained intact.

AMC couldn’t stay open during renovations like other complexes since it didn’t have sections that could of been roped off. This was the same when the AMC Fantasy was renovated..

Please remove which required gutting the entire building. The original building had to be renovated to make it ADA accessible with escalators and move the balcony entrances to the back and removing the staircases from the old entrance. Just part of the building was renovated. Please review my photos.

This was my first visit since the renovation, all of the 8 screens, no masking. The only screens that are scope screens (masking for FLAT) is theatres 5 (old theatre 3 and former 70MM house balcony) and theatre 8.

The theatre layout is the same prior to the renovation, AMC added 2 escalators to the second floor and theatre 5/6 (former balcony) you enter in the back. It has two men/women restrooms but not enough stalls in the main Men’s room in the lobby.

The sound proofing was poor, I heard the sound from theatre 2 while watching my movie in theatre 1.

The one negative, the sight lines are not great.

AMC removed the auxiliary refreshment stand on the 2nd floor. I posted a few photos of the theatre and I have old photos which I put up a few years ago.

RealD 3D in screens 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. But Regal shows less 3D shows then they use to. Also, they compete with the Cinemart Cinemas and AMC Fresh Meadows that has recliners.

Remember, a few years ago, The Midway, Cinemart and Kew Gardens play the same films now.

Also, the big money making theatres Union Square and Sheepshead Bay won’t get recliners anytime soon.

Update: Theatre 4 last day will be this Thursday, January 2. No films scheduled in the auditorium after Thursday showing of 1917 and Uncut Gems.

Regal took down the Union Square 14 from the outside marquee and replace it with just Regal. (see the photos section)

According to the theatre managemnt, theatre 17 is slated to be RPX. When I saw Star Wars, it was the only screen upstairs with Blue Lighting, but Regal was in a rush to open the screen, it waiting to convert it to RPX.

Also, theatre 5 4DX, they added 20 more seats to the capacity. They moved the entrance about a few feet to the right.

@jsbreezy Theatre 17 was correct as you said, it almost like screen 8 and 1 at the AMC Empire, full stadium seating. The screen was big, no masking.

Tentatively, going to see 1917 in screen 4 before it closes next year. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to sit in the balcony where I saw most of I my films, including “Enemy Of The State” and “Hurricane”. Out of the screens Regal pick for 1917, screen 4 is the biggest screen and the others are in the smaller houses. Hopefully, screen 9 is good. Did you hear if Union Square is getting RPX, that was a rumor I heard at another Regal location I visited.
