Chris 1982 when I was there a few years back the were renovating the theater for live use. The marquee was back. Are you sure this is a new picture? It looked like that picture 5 years ago.
I saw several movies here when I lived in NYC. From what I remember, Star Wars, Altered States, Superman, Raiders Of The Lost Ark and the rest I can’t remember
Did Bow Tie take their sign down? I know Walter Reade Theaters have been long sold off but it would be great if their family restarted the company by taking over this wonderful gem.
Can anyone tell me if this theater had true scope on the screen it looked very large. I know it was a Floyd theater and they were known for always wanting the full screen so scope features were off in outer space and the bushes. I hated it
Status update the theater is being gutted for a restaurant/ retail space at the new Asheville Outlet Mall. Very sad no chain came in to rescue this theater.
StanMalone it was very small but comfortable theater. I saw All That Jazz there and one other film. They had great curtains that opened and closed during the previews and before the main feature .
Will the 70MM version of The Hateful 8 be on film, or is it possible to do 70MM in digital?
The inside was identical to the Sutton in Manhattan.
Is it possible to do 70mm on a digital print or does it have to be film? I know the new Quinten Tarrentino film is in Ultra Panavision and 70MM.
That would piss me off markp and I wouldn’t go there.
It closed in 1977 markp

They showed a lot of Disney films in the late 60 to early 70’s when they closed.

What a huge screen.
Great news. A theater once more and not demolished or converted into some stupid retail space. :)

Status needs to be updated to 2 screens and a twin. If you look closely at the newspaper add you’ll see it was a twin.

That is what the Ziegfeld need is to have films showcased only at that theater.
This is great news.
Any update if this theater was demolished?
Anybody know what has become of this theater?
I don’t remember it being a large auditorium or that it had a balcony.
I saw Scrooge and Funny Lady there in the 70’s and the screen was great. I can’t imagine how horrible it was a twin.
Great news they are showing films in center city Philly. Anybody know if the screen is a decent size?
Stanmalo9ne his name is Neil Reed. His is currently the manager of the Fine Arts in downtown Asheville.
The theater is United Artist Beaucathcher not Regal. I am not sure who or why the name was changed.
