I was told by a high up Rank contact I dealt with regular. That there is or was an interesting conditon on the lease from the Freeholders. That a number of Seats had to be on permenantly reserved for them…

The rebuilt Odeon Marble Arch has its own page here /theaters/1830/
The rebuilt Odeon Marble Arch was a gem…Saw Oliver there in the 60’s and The Doors and Terminator 2 there in the 90s…The decline of 70mm and roadshow style attractions made this theater hard to programme towards the end…it day dated a lot with Odeon Leicester Sq and rollout runs but lost its exclusive feel therefore plexing was the way to go. The plexing isnt terrible but no joy – have seen Speed 2 and The Tailor of Panama here. The programming is generally along the lines of a wide rollout keeping in mind the neighborhood is now made up of primarily upscale Middle Easter residents
