When the cinema still had film projectors, auditoriums had Dolby Digital installed (probably after opening), as they had the respective signs outside each auditorium entrance, even after the THX signs were removed. All of these signs were removed during the recent remodel (if they had not been already removed beforehand).

The Dolby Cinema screen in auditorium 4 is scope ratio. The screen looks noticeably wider but around the same height as the Dolby Cinema screen at AMC Columbia, which is a flat ratio screen.

The Dolby Cinema reissue of Titanic (color graded in Dolby Vision HDR) was presented in Dolby 3D at this location.

I believe auditorium 6 has a 70 mm projector (along with the digital cinema projector), which was used to screen “The Hateful Eight” and “Dunkirk” in 70 mm film.

This opened on December 25, 1997. Grand opening ad in the photo section.

According to the cinema’s respective websites (amctheatres.com + MovieTickets.com + Fandango), Dolby Cinema is opening in the other largest auditorium (#4) this weekend. I wonder if they went with a wide scope ratio screen or a flat ratio screen for Dolby Cinema. Seating was cut from over 400 rocker seats to around 160 reserved power recliner seats with transducers for Dolby Cinema.

The retrofitted IMAX screen directly across the hall in #5 is ceiling to floor but not wall to wall due to emergency exits (as mentioned in the last post). The width of the IMAX screen does cover the width of the seating area, so most won’t notice anyway.

Theatre 5 is the retrofitted IMAX theatre. Although the auditorium is large, the IMAX screen is not wall to wall due to emergency exits behind the screen – there are exit pathways on the left and right sides of the screen. Pixel grid is very evident due to the 2K resolution of the IMAX digital projectors and the longer throw distance of the projectors. IMAX sound is uncomfortably loud.

This venue had an original posting years ago, with comments since. I know because I had several postings on it!

I know about this place because I pass by it on my many trips to New York.
