Justin – what did you mean when you said “for now”?

Does anyone remember the first new policy trailer that GC used when they replaced the classic “projector” trailer? It was produced by Lucus’s ILM and featured candy, popcorn, drinks and trash cans floating in space. It was also rumored to have a Volkswagen Beatle floating somewhere in the frame.

I have a digital file of the old GC policy trailer. I will locate it and make it available within the next few days.

The township of West Orange made them take out the games and put up the signs. Every problem that happens in that center is blamed on the theatre.

General Cinema originally tried to build a 14-plex there, but the township wouldn’t approve that, so it got scaled back to a 9-plex. GC was made to pay for the police sub-station as a condition of getting the original building permit.

That theatre continues to survive, despite the township doing all they can to kill it.
