Apparently the Phantom Thread 70mm print was “only” 4k so it might have looked a bit underwhelming compared to other 70mm prints which were higher resolutions. Still drew HUGE crowds here and as mentioned, it comes with a program.

If they would renovate this theater it would probably be without stadium seating, as (to my knowledge) these types of auditoriums here with “direct entrance” wouldn’t work for stadium seating. (Correct me if I’m wrong please) But AMC 84th st for instance has recliners without stadium seating so I think they should renovate anyways.
They need to renovate for next year when this theater turns 25.
NYer, I was not there on Saturday. I think the print is ok considering it was blown up from 35MM. I have one of those programs. Nice touch. I’m back in there on Tuesday.
70MM extended for a third week.
This theater is a much nicer theater for indie films as it has all the bells and whistles of a modern multiplex.
Hello-
I was shocked to learn the nearby Lincoln Plaza Cinema is closing at the end of January because the landlord say construction work is necessary on the 30 year old building. the article i read said the Lincoln Plaza was also getting competition from the more recent Bruin Monroe Film Center opposite Julliard. i have been to both theaters and don’t remember the 6 year old Bruin Monroe Film Center ever playing what can best be called major low budget indies and foreign films. as an example- I don’t remember the Bruin Monroe Film Center ever playing a low budget indie or foreign film on the same level as the Lincoln Plaza’s current films- Mudbound, Wonder Wheel or Darkest Hour.
70MM returns for 2 weeks starting 12/24. The Phanthom Thread. I will be there as projectionist most weekdays till Jan 5th.
moviebuff82 https://www.amctheatres.com/dolby I assume your talking about this format vs IMAX. Dolby has the advantage of the Video wall entrance and the souround sound being in the recliner as those Auditorums use an Dolby designed seat and not the normal AMC recliners. you cant see it here in dolby though the only open NYC location for Dolby cinema is the AMC Empire 25 with AMC Loews 34th Street 14 listed as coming soon.
https://www.amctheatres.com/amc-store it looks like this is one of the theaters AMC put a movie collectable store in.
I saw “Star Wars:The Force Awakens” in a commercial movie theater, not in an Imax, so I can’t compare as they have different format sound systems. The new Star Wars movie is fun.
How was the sound mix compared to Awakens?
IMAX 3D is thw best
Star Wars: The Last Jedi, I saw today at Franklin Institute in 70mm Imax, so I can confirm it is shown only in ‘scope, not 1.43 so it was letterboxed where I saw it. It did have tremendous resolution as to details.
Which theater is better for Last Jedi? IMAX 3D (3D=yuck) or Dolby Digital?
We saw Dunkirk in IMAX. It was one of the great cinematographic experiences of my life. Blade Runner 2049 was good too although there was something rattling toward the front left during loud scenes, maybe a blown speaker coil or a loose ceiling tile or something.
WHAT? WHAT THE HECK? NO 1.43? Do you have a link to that @xbs2034?
Or did someone see it there tonight and can confirm?
Just one little note for people (like me) seeing The Last Jedi in IMAX here this weekend. While the film did use IMAX cameras for select sequences, it will be a locked scope presentation, and the screen will not be filled for any of those sequences.
Apparently, the director found the aspect ratio switches distracting when he was finishing the movie, and people who’ve seen the film in the UK mentioned there are no IMAX aspect ratio switches.
I Tonya is doing good business at this theater before expanding nationwide in the weeks ahead.
I’m happy that the audience turned out for the 70mm presentation of MOTOE. Not the case for Justice League in 70 at the Cinerama. Although, it’s been many years since I spent three weeks straight making changeovers in a manual 70mm booth it has been a lot of fun! It would be nice if we had more of an audience though.
Looking at 3D screenings, there’s a set that looks like it will be in the large Loews auditorium for The Last Jedi.
Hello-
The Last Jedi won’t be in the Loew’s auditorium?
We did very good business with MOTOE. Weekend crowds sold out the theatre (375 seats). Even week night early shows did well. The theatre upstairs ran JL in 70MM for only 9 days. Warners wanted to cut their losses early. We ended up having 83 showings between Nov 9 and 30th. And what helped was this was the only screen showing it in the complex. You had to see it in 70MM or go elsewhere.
I am curious at to what business was like for MOTOE in 70mm? I am one of two projectionists running Justice League in 70mm at the Cinerama in Seattle to very light crowds. Of course, it is playing on a dozen other screens in digital format. There was some talk that we might get MOTOE in 70mm for a week starting December 1 but that fell through. JL for one more week.
Dunkirk is playing here in 70mm Imax this weekend .
Yes, the footage shot with IMAX film cameras will fill the entire screen. 1.43 in IMAX laser is quite the spectacle
I wonder if the aspect ratio will be like real Imax rather than digital since the film was shot that way. The conversion on force awakens was ok when I saw it on blu ray 3d although I missed seeing it in liemax 3d.
