With prices like that, the theater will probably go down with the rest of this mall. The place is like a ghost town.

I just passed this theater at the mall yesterday and could not believe that in Queens there is a cinema charging $13 admission, $17 for 3D. I think the $13 general admission (non 3D) is the most I’ve seen in all of New York, higher than even Manhattan. In Boston recently I saw $12.50 at the AMC Boston Commons cinema.

I wonder if they are non-union projectionists.Can they get away with that in New York like they do down South in all these right to work states. Local 629.

This area is very middle class most of the stores are for the upper east side of NYC, the Hamptons ,or Beverly Hills.Except for Regal and Border’s book store I will have no reason to go there

I am sure the economy didn’t help the already struggling Atlas Park mall. Personally, the idea was a little “high end” for the area.

Well it sounds like the stores are having more trouble than the theater or the restaurants in there….. “People come to see a movie and to eat, and bypass the stores”.
Well one kiss of death is that you have to pay for parking. That right away shuts out “just lookers”, who often leave with buying something.

Good for you, Brooklyn Jim. I’m glad you survived the Jamaica Multiplex at s/e corner of Jamaica and Parsons. Glad it was comfortable. Glad of your book & DVD bargains at Borders, and that it made your trip worthwhile.

It reads like Atlas Park has some serious upscale snob and overpricing problems, which could lead to its undoing.

And now to respond to Lost Memory’s wonderful post of Jul 6, 2006 at 5:06pm, at the top of this page :

On my second trip to this struggling mall on a recent overcast day, I tried to see “Righteous Kill,” but the theater changed the times for weekday shows. Just as well: matinee and senior prices are high. Saw it instead at the nondescript (but very comfortable) Jamaica Multiplex for two bucks less.

P.S.: Got a couple of book & DVD bargains at Borders, which made the original trip worthwhile…

Well you even have to pay to park to shop at that place! No wonder few people go there.
But all said and done, the Atlas PArk had to be the final nail in the coffin for the not so far away Ridgewood Theater. Now the Atlas is the only movie theater in the area, unless going to Forest Hills.

I just went to this theater for the first time on Saturday and saw “Meet Dave”. $11 a ticket, I was shocked, that’s higher than in Manhattan.

I noticed in the paper this weekend that “Legend” has been added. Atla$ probably didn’t want to mi$$ out on tho$e extra dollar$.

I got a charge out of the fact that the old Ridgewood Theater booked “I Am Legend” and new Atlas Park 8 didn’t! Ha!

I believe the Atlas Park is also supposed to be a bit more ‘upscale", perhaps fitting a bit more with Forest Hills than Glendale. It’s probably a combination of all scenarios mentioned.

Well its looks like Bway Chris beat by a year on adding this theatre ….I’ll go halves on the curse.

Some of the contractors who built the theatre used to eat their lunches at Yermans Pub on Cooper/Aubrey..they were in there,that they are memorialized with their own names engraved on brass plates on top of the bar.

So I wonder when Jimmy was going to put me and my friends name on the bar..we do play on the bar team and are steady customers?

Does anyone know the capacities of each screen in screen order.

I had a relatively good experience recently at the Atlas Park Theater. Besides it being the regular chain theater, and not that I am any sort of fan of Regal, I was quite surprised. Some of the managers I’m not sure know what they are doing yet, and everyone always seems to be on their cellphone, but I had fast and friendly service none-the-less. The one complaint that I had was there were no paper towels in the bathroom. However, the bathroom was very clean. The theaters were all a relatively good size. I’d say that biggest theater (I think theater 8) seats around 300. I stayed over the 3 hour limit for my parking pass, but it was still only $2.50. Plus, the security and convienency of the parking is well worth it.

I came, I saw, I was unimpressed. The lobby is nice though. And that name- Atlas Park! Sounds like a place where muscle men hang out.

Thought it was Ratt’s “Round and Round.” Oh, well. (BTW, garlic is also effective on Middle Eastern vampire types. Go ask Mustafa and Waleed down on Atlantic Ave.)

What strong gray matter you have upstairs, LM! Had totally forgotten about the gas station parking behind the theater on Wyckoff. My neighbor used it frequently. IMHO, the RKO Madison was the classier of the two theaters, so yeah, as you said, go figure. Perhaps future historians (or former Madison managers) will eventually clue us in regarding its seemingly premature closing. Hopefully, anyway…

Parking in Ridgewood has been a royal PIA since the 1960s. That’s why the Good Lord invented the Myrtle el, the Canarsie subway and the B/Q-58 bus, making the Ridgewood Theater (and the former RKO Madison) very accessible. At least the new Atlas will validate their reasonably low parking fee, at least for now – a sure win bet at OTB.

[Curses don’t bother me in the slightest, LM…as long as I have some garlic, silver bullets and a cross. As Linda Blair autographed an 8x10 for my son a few years ago, “Greg, you make my head spin!” LOL!]
