zoetmb… Where do you count these seats???

I would suggest you look elsewhere.
Please update, the basement 3 screens opened on March 3, 1995. No Grand Opening ad for the extra 3 screens.
Hello-
I know one shouldn’t assume things but. in the year since movie theaters shutdown due to the pandemic I assumed theaters were keeping themselves in tip top shape for their eventual reopening. one thing I thought they’d be doing is programming their online ticket sites so that on a seating chart they would have blocked seats that can’t be purchased. but apparently how they’re doing it is when a person buys a ticket they blockout the seat on either side from being purchased. which way would you prefer?
Tenet will play in IMAX 70mm here, just beginning March 12. Probably want to show Chaos Walking first as that’s a new release and only in theaters

Very annoyed that AMC won’t show Tenet in IMAX 70MM.It being showing in regular Digital. Angelika Village East is running it in 70MM DTS film, but AMC won’t let the people in New York City see it the Nolan wants you to see it. Guess it too expensive to run for only 50 people per showing.
This weekend The Marksman ended Wonder Woman’s reign as the top movie with a paltry gross of $3.7 million in what is expected to be the lowest grossing MLK weekend box office ever. Hopefully things will get back to normal and theatres like this one can show movies again while AMC is struggling to pay its woes in order to fight bankruptcy.
This weekend wonder woman 1984 dominated the pandemic box office with a record $16 million, and that’s from nearly 2,500 theatres, mostly in suburbs and not big cities like NYC where lincoln square and its sister busy theater Empire are. HBO Max saw its busiest day as half of all users saw the movie, which i hear is not as good as the first one. Only the beginning and ending are in Imax and the rest is 35mm film upconverted to 4k DI as well as laser and 70mm imax. There is also a Dolby version which i hear doesn’t sound good and the picture quality is nothing to be amazed about. Hopefully NYC will lift restrictions as cases will soon slow down as vaccines become available to those who need it before they get sick. Then big cities such as this one and LA will be normal again and the box office will be back with big grosses like in 2019-early 2020.
and be safe!!!
Thieves stealing bags from moviegoers is unfortunately common worldwide. Watch your bags!

Hello-
to digital3d- of what “crime” do you speak?
Even the movie stunk.
It’s not that they had given up it’s just that they’ve always been that way. AMC’s customer service for the most part is atrocious, at least in the NYC locations I’ve been to. Broken projectors, lights, rodent, bed bugs, crime etc.
The second-to-last film I saw here was Rise of Skywalker in IMAX and the whole auditorium smelled like marijuana.
Hello-
again thanks the quick reply. whoever designed the notes on the back of the snap case made a mistake since it clearly states the making of doc. is on the Blu-ray disc not the 4K disc.
Yes.
Hello-
to moviebuff82- thanks for your reply but I am still perplexed as to where the making of doc is. the snap case says its on the Blu-ray but its not. so is it in fact on the 4K disc?
The tenet bluray also has the teaser trailer in its original aspect ratio as well as other trailers in that ratio. I hear rumors about Cinemark taking over this location as well as the Empire if AMC files for bankruptcy. This will give Cinemark its first entry into the NYC market with two major theaters. Maybe they should also take over the Orpheum as that theater hasn’t been renovated before the Pandemic hit. the closest cinemark where I live is in Wayne where it competes with the AMC and Wayne movietown, which is closed indefintely. For the imax, Cinemark might make it into a giant XD screen therefore ending its run as an IMAX venue, leaving behind the Nature Max as a true imax but they only run nature documentaries.
Hello-
since theaters in NYC haven’t been opened since March 16 I just got to see Tenet on blu-ray which was released this past Tues. considering the mixed reviews the film got from what people did get to see it I thought my reaction would be mixed as well but it wasn’t. two questions-
*one complaint some people had was not understanding the dialogue in some scenes. what scenes were being referred to? I had very little problem understanding the dialogue.
*also the back of the case says there’s a making of doc.
not on the 4K but on the blu-ray. but the blu-ray disc
doesn’t have a making of doc. what gives?
the reason that people are not going to the movies that much is that attendance is down because of TV, home media like VHS, cable TV, and streaming.
I would have to disagree that it will have very little impact. I think it will have tremendous impact, although time will tell. Even before COVID, AMC theaters across the chain averaged ticket sales of only 92 tickets per day, per screen. From 2015 to 2019, AMC (which is the largest chain) lost $289 million. During the first two quarters of this year, AMC lost over $563 million and by the end of the year, it will probably be $1 billion.
So theaters are going to have a tough time surviving in any case.
Now throw in day-and-date streaming and a generation of people who are happy streaming on small screens and I personally don’t see how theaters can survive. Personally, I love going to movie theaters, but during the week, before COVID, whenever I went to see a film, there were few people in the theater. That’s not sustainable anywhere, but especially not in such an expensive city like NYC.
I think the only hope for movie theaters is if the studios buy them. But they might not care. Disney+ now has over 80 million subscribers. That will generate $7.68 billion per year and Disney keeps most of that money (no distributor shares). They may decide they don’t need the theaters.
Having said that, theaters could survive if people actually attended, but they don’t. In 2019 there were about 23.9m admissions per week. It was 50-60m in 1950 and 85-90m each year from 1945 to 1948.
