just uploaded a bunch of photos in the photos section. The Alamo recliner seating is tight, not as comfortable as Regal. The screens are small. Don’t like unisex bathrooms only. The Downtown Brooklyn location has bigger screens.
Grand opening ad in photos section. @Comfortably Cool, this is not the days when no internet was around, where Grand Opening ads appeared in newspapers. Grand Opening ads only appear on the theatre website and social media like facebook and instagram. I missed the newspaper ads, use to save movie ads years ago. They don’t advertise in the Dailey News or NY Times. A newspaper is now $3. for weekday issue. The internet killed the publications, most people subscribe to digital publications. That why you don’t find ads like they use to be. Alamo Drafthouse actually paid NYC Transit to advertise their new Lower Manhattan theatre in the subway.
POSTED an ad of Platoon in the photos section, it was one of the last major exclusive engagements to play their in December 1986, the only time I went their when the place had almost 1500 people
@JackLndiania if you read the description it said It became the United Artists Twin from October 26, 1984. I also posted the grand opening ad in the photos as the UA Twin, click on 4 in the photos

Just uploaded the pictures of both level construction progress, Screen 8 thru 13 looks almost finish, don’t know if the RPX and new 4DX is complete. Level 1 screens 1 thru 7, a workzone and the restrooms by theatre 7 closed, have to walk down the hallway to screen 1 for the restroom.
The manager said the contractors are supposed to come back, but I hope the location work gets fully done and stays open. This location has more comfortable seats then the Empire. The Empire I would only go to IMAX, DOLBY or PRIME preferably.
@Mikeoaklandpark. The section currently closed off where RPX is. A lot of level 2 is done, but the contractor are finishing another location that not closing. The manager said there coming back to finish the work. Until RPX opens, I’m still not optimistic after Regal closed Fenway which had reclines installed 5 years ago. I’ll post photos later tonight when I get home
