If patrons are shunning 3D without a premium being charged for it, why would they find it more attractive at premium prices? What is the point of being “in the picture” if it is a picture you do not want to be in?
Hollywood is, as many many of us predicted, repeating history with regard to 3D – using it on inferior movies where it adds little or nothing. There have been other reports of the 2D presentations of films at multiplexes where the film is also playing on 3D where the 2D outsells the 3D version especially when it is a movie aimed at kids.
I agree: if I can’t have Cinerama back (the ultimate immersive experience to-date), at least give me 70mm.
Only time will tell, I suppose; but I am rather skeptical. It sounds to me more like some glitzy touristy thing. And if you want to know what musicals are about, go to the discount tickets booth and get a ticket to one of the real things.
Pictures from its page at CinemaTour:http://www.cinematour.com/tour/ca/439.html. According to that page, this theater has been demolished, but other sites have showtimes.
Ah, in general here on CT, the Official Website section should be used for a URL that points to an operating theater’s sponsored page that lists showtimes, location, phone numbers, etc., or to that of an organization that supports or maintains a theater. Except perhaps for an organization that is trying restore or renovate a theater, it is kind of odd that a derelict theater would have an an “official” page listed.
This may help (or perhaps even make the situation murkier). According to the Rivest List for northern South Carolina, there was a very short-lived Midland Theater in Camden, SC, which is about thirty miles southeast of Winnsboro. If the Rivest data is correct, it lasted for a brief time around 2000.
But perhaps complicating the issue is the fact that certain online search results indicate that a either a theater or a theater company called Midland Theatres, Inc, is or was located in Camden SC at 1107 Windsor Drive. However, Google street view shows the area to be residential.
Confusing the issue further, is the fact that some directory entries indicate that 1107 Windsor Drive is the address for the Little Theater, a small, still-functioning twin theater. I think, though this is erroneous as the Little Theater has an entry here on CT /theaters/22484/ which locates it at 506 DeKalb St., as other online directory entries do.
I agree, Trolleyguy; I was not suggesting it not be listed. It sure makes more sense than the entry someone recently made for a playground in Hong Kong where films were shown on one night. Geez.
However, since the practice here is to list structures (essentially either indoor theaters or drive-ins), it occurs to me that perhaps this situation might be handled by instead listing the Russell B. Aitken Auditorium and indicating in the description that it has been home to the Cleveland Cinematheque, a regular art and independent film series, since 1986, and that a smaller auditorium in the same building is also used.
