I’ve never been to this theater, but my aunt has been there since she lives in paramus, where most moviegoers go to these days instead of the smaller theaters. After the success Clearview had with renovating the 3-screener in Washington Township, Clearview is applying the same touch to the Warner Quad, which used to be owned by the parent company of the Tenplex, Cineplex Odeon. By the time Clearview bought the theater, the cinema was in decline in terms of quality and quantity as more people went to the megaplexes. This renovation means that the nearby Hawthorne theater, which shows movies that the Warner Quad can’t, will have to step up before it closes down soon!!!
