Good grief, what does a shooting “a few miles from this location” have anything to do with the AMC Newport Centre 11, and why should any follow ups be posted here…??

A few miles away from this location there was a major police shooting involving an officer. Thankfully the people are safe inside the Sacred Heart school where they are being protected by the cops.

A shooting occurred at the mall today where one person was shot and as a result the mall is being evacuated.

Does anyone know in what year the 10th and 11th screens were built/added?

Theater is now AMC Newport Center 11. Later this year will mark 30 years since it opened.

The theatres now feature Digital Presentations and 3D. Saw my first movie here yesterday in Digital. It was like taking the Wayback Machine to 1987 Cineplex Odeon days. Boy is this theatre worn out! I worked all the Southern California Cineplex house back then and everything was like then. Curtains were in there up position and the seats are vintage late 1980’s. Other than being designed for Cineplex, it reminded me of those Mann and UA theatre from that era but with curtains. They showed 8-9 commercials 1 trailer AMC stuff and the feature. Which was the best part of the visit. The picture was bright and sound was good.

The theatre opened on December 18th as a nine-screen theatre with seven engagements. Those films were Three Men And A Baby, Nuts, *batteries not included, Overboard, Throw Momma From The Train, Wall Street and Planes, Trains and Automobiles. The next week (December 25th), all nine screens were filled with Empire Of The Sun and Broadcast News opening.

This theater, along with the one in Menlo Park Mall, are the only two remaining Cineplex Odeon theaters that are thriving as AMC Loews theaters. Ironically, they are 12 screeners that were made solely by Cineplex Odeon before the Loews Cineplex acquistion, and each location has a rival theater that’s in the same town (movie city in edison and the hudson mall seven plex in jc). The closest theaters near them that have stadium seating are the Bayonne 12 plex owned by Frank Theaters and the New Brunswick 18 plex owned by AMC.

While the mall seems in very good shape, this “theater” is in pretty tired shape. Took my children to see “Racing Stripes” here on Sunday 2/6. There were a lot of seats missing in the theater. About half way through the movie, my young son wanted to sit on my lap. I realized that the seats were the rocking kind and so I started to rock. Well, that was a big mistake. The rocking motion somehow loosened the bolts that held the seats to the floor. I realized that if we sat normally, the three seats we were in would move forward, kind of ejecting us. Not wanting to move them in the middle of the flick, I braced my legs on the floor and used my body to keep the seats upright! When we got up to leave, the three seats arched inwards. Since they were in the center of the aisle, it pulled the seats on the ends inwards also.

In addition, the screen image was off the screen by about a foot.

The place was basically clean but was in sorry need of a major overhaul.

I would assume, since there are no major theaters nearby, that this place might post some respectable numbers.

The popcorn was fresh though.

The Newport Center Cinemas still bears the name of and is one of the few remaining Cineplex Odeon venues in the tri-state area.
