So, did it happen?
It looks like it will be this coming Friday that Regal will takeover the theatre. (Sept. 15th)
Middle of September now I believe…AMC didnt care about E-walk coz they always knew they would have to sell it…
Regal is supose to take it over on September 1.
Did you know AMC did not offer AM Cinema at E-Walk
It was built new for this location.
I think it’s a modern interpretation of a vintage looking sign, Ron, using computer driven fiber optic technology for illumination.
Was the vertical LOEWS sign here rescued from some other demolished Loew’s theatre, or was it built new for this theatre?
Regal are going to have an artist come in and change the Loews lettering in the artwork but otherwise the attitude and theme of E-walk will be maintained. No word on whether Regal will keep the food but I doubt it heavily…
It seems unlikely Regal will keep the Nathins menu items around – I don’t know Regal Cinemas as well as I know Loews, AMC and National Amusements but I don’t recall any Regal Cinemas serving hot foods. AMC did keep the hot food items around when they aquired Loews and further back when they aquired General Cinema but as far as I know didn’t add a fast food line up to any new constructions.
So, concessions stand deals are made with the theater chain and not one-off with the individual theater locations? Does that mean if Loews had a contract with Nathan’s, the agreement would now extend to AMC theaters as a result of the merger? I’m not sure if you mentioned Nathan’s in particular because they have a stand in the E-Walk, but if they did have an agreement with Loews, it wasn’t exclusive. There is a Nathan’s/Sbarro’s stand in the lobby of the College Point Multiplex in Queens, run by National Amusements.
For my part, I’m perfectly happy with popcorn, soda and candy when I go the movies. I’m not particularly concerned with wrestling a foot-long and some cheese-fries while trying to enjoy the movie. I leave that for trips to Astroland and Dino’s Wonder Wheel Park in Coney Island.
The Nathan’s stuff et al.
whats a kitchen menu?
September I believe. The problem with Regal is the lack of a kitchen Menu so sadly that will go out the window. Anyway I prefer Regal to AMC anyway…
I suppose the letters can (and will) be changed to read “REGAL” pretty easily. A pity. That has to be the most prominent “Loews” sign in NYC.
They will redesign the sign to spell the new chain running the house. The only reason that AMC has not changed the signage in those Loews houses is they want to see which houses are profit makers for them. They want to see if the figures that Loews gave them were true, before they spend all that money to redesign all those signs at those Loews houses.
Do you know when the take over will occur? What will happen to that great retro LOEWS sign?
No AMC has that…that’s why E-walk was sold in the first place…
No AMC has that…that’s why E-walk was sold in the first place…
Are they keeping the Loews brand?
Regal has it…
What gives with AMC having to divest itself of certain theaters – as per the terms of the merger with Loews? I thought the E-Walk should have been sold by now. What were the deadlines? Is there something in the works?
Can you use the AMC Entertainment Card at the AMC Loews E-Walk?
I believe AMC won’t intergrate the computer system of the E-Walk since it has to be sold, where other former Loews Cineplex Theatres computer systems, such as the 34th Street 14 is able to take the AMC Entertainment Card and the AMc MovieWatcher card.
Mikeoaklandpark, AMC is definitely gonna continue using the Loews name. In the MovieWatcher commerical during the “AMC First Look” with Jay and Silent Bob, the commerical says you can sign up at any AMC or AMC Loews location
AMC hasn’t integrated the two theatres' computer systems yet. I am a member of AMC’s frequent patron program, but the cards don’t work in the automatic ticket machines in the E-Walk.
Crown may not be a likely buyer, in Florida they cut there losses and closed a theater and sold one to Cobb.
HAs anybody heard who is going to take over the E-Walk. I know it was one of the theaters AMC had to sell. Also, do we know if AMC is going to continue as AMC/Loews?
