Interesting. Local operator will take it over but films will be booked by Clearview which currently operates on the East Coast. Clearview books many arthouse films, so audience members will be pleased.

HDTV, an early showing! As I’m listed in the credits, I’m kind of an official volunteer here. If you see outright “spam” email me directly so I will have it removed. There are trivial postings, can’t help that, but this website has more interesting postings than many other blogs.
As was blogged by the Paris on its Facebook site, a recent compliment from an acrtress-
“We’re here at the Paris Theatre, which is such a romantic, old-fashioned theater. This felt like a very appropriate dress,” actress Jessica Chastain said at Tuesday night’s New York premiere of Coriolanus as she smoothed the tissue-thin lace overlay of her floor-skimming Monique Lhuillier look. “

from Oct 25, 1999 Phila. Inquirer:
The United Artists Cinema at Oxford Valley Mall will expand and renovate its 10-screen theater complex early next year to include six new theaters.
Existing theaters also will be retrofitted with stadium-style seating and state-of-the-art sound, said Joseph C. Esposito, vice president of development for Kravco Co., the property’s manager and developer.
At a meeting last month, the Middletown Township Board of Supervisors voted, 5-0, to approve the expansion, which would increase seating from 2,456 to 3,584.
Enjoyed the new “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” at the Avalon on Wednesday. The surround system is excellent! Was the Swedish version of the movie shown here?
Saw Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol on Tuesday late afternoon, a nice crowd. Curtain hasn’t been used for a year or two because the motor is broke. Movie isn’t being projected on top & lower corner sections, a very minor effect but one that should be corrected. Christie 4 k dual projectors are used. The surround sound is astonishingly good!
I certainly want to continue to see 35 mm classics not DVDs or Blue Rays projected on movie screens. There are many movie theaters, often arthouses, currently with classics programs.
Perhaps because links don’t auto link, I neglected in June to post this link here of current photo of auditorium facing stage! follow link to photo of lighting control panel, too

Giles, many people including myself aren’t bothering with 3D. As I will be in DC for a few days, I’m looking forward to seeing “The Girl with the Dragon Tatoo” at the historic Avalon. Interesting enough, “The Girl” will also be at Baltimore’s Senator. AMC’s website indicates the new “Mission Impossible” will be at the Uptown. I didn’t see “War Horse” yet online in DC, but since it is listed that it will be at the Ziegfeld….
The new owner says he has is looking for community input- http://www.boston.com/yourtown/news/quincy/2012/01/quincys_wollaston_theater_sold.html

Is Dark Knight to be shown here in digital projection or 70mm?
Ed, if it isn’t custom built, it is fake IMAX. Sony opened Lincoln Square with a real one.
Very nice photo! That’s the auditorium built with 61 feet wide screen. Its twin is now the IMAX auditorium that you’ve also photographed.
Chris, Who’s operating the Chinese 6? If it is a separate operator, it should have a separate page here.

The former auditorium. See other photo for the theater’s front.

Meant “setting up”
Is Ziegfeld projection still 2k or upgraded yet to 4k?
Email stated they have a curtain now! Bill refers above to a curtain. Used before & after each movie?
Well, that sure is decorated for the holidays!
Which is the multiplex only a mile away?

Great surround sound is important! And, yes, I’d hope for 4k rather than 2k for the main auditorium.

I’ve not been in this auditorium. How large is the screen? Is this to be 35mm projection of classics?
