Danny, I very quickly noticed that booking issue as well. However, it seems that Arclight and Landmark are getting several of the same films. Arclight gave Hobbit quite a few seats despite their smaller theatres because they have shorter downtimes, as well as showing it in many auditoriums. Arclight has basically gotten nothing since Les Mis, as they lost Django, Zero Dark Thirty, and Gangster Squad, which stinks in my opinion because I really don’t want to support a Chinese-owned “American” company. I wish all the best to this Landmark, as it’s a nice place with great staff. I’ve seen a large number of films in there and I hope it continues to succeed.
I miss this place. Never cared for those rocker chairs in the back, but everything else there was a deal. The men’s bathroom still had that trough instead of urinals…
I was sad to find this theatre downsized as I refuse to patron that other theatre in the gaslamp. Because of exclusive bookings, it’s going to get harder to see the best films at Horton. For some time, I felt the theatre had very poor presentation, but over the last couple years, they have done a decent job. As many know, digital projection doesn’t guarantee a decent presentation. I watched Argo in theatre 2 two Saturdays ago and the presentation was absolutely superb. It’s my favorite screen in all of San Diego and I’m glad it will continue to run. With the newer seats, straight screens, smaller crowds, and great staff, this theatre is one of the best around. The only real hassle is the parking if you care to watch multiple films. I was truly sad to hear of this, especially with Gaslamp still operating 15…

I saw both E.T. and Ghostbusters in that theatre. E.T. is still one of my favorite films of all time…
