Hello-
this past weekend If Beale Street Could Talk opened here and at the Angelika. the Angelika was passing out a freebie brochure that was so well done it amounted to a souvenir program. did this theater pass it out as well?
@klstra Based on my experience most (if not all) people recline. There is also lots of leg room so it should be very, very rare that someone’s view is obstructed. But if you want to be really sure I’d recommend just getting tickets for the balcony.
digital329 What if they aren’t reclined?
@guolei329: Well, that’s not entirely true. The Dolby here does have stadium seating on the four balcony rows. There is no stadium seating on the ground level, but all the seats recline so there shouldn’t be any obstruction of the screen.
guolei329 What video did you see?
The Dolby Cinema does not have stadium seating! Don’t go!!!
According to this Screen Rant article, around 70% of Dunkirk was shot in the 1.43:1 IMAX format.
The Avengers was filmed on the IMAX digital camera and was captured and shown in 1.90. It’s not really what we think of when we think of Imax. I think the only feature length film that was shot and projected in the 4:3 IMAX aspect ratio and on old school IMAX 70mm cameras was Dunkirk. But I even think Dunkirk used standard 70mm film for some shots.
It is incredibly expensive to film an entire movie in the IMAX format. To date, the only two feature-length movies are Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: End Game.
Hello-
thanks to Peter A. for his reply. I greatly enjoyed the film but saw it at the Loews 19 St. so watching it on Blu-ray the switching wasn’t of putting just odd. to which why wasn’t the entire film shot in IMAX?

Yes, the IMAX version of mission Impossible Fallout had the changing aspect ratios; IIRC, it’s during only two sequences: the HALO jump and the helicopter chase/cliff fight.
I believe the Nolan Dark Knight films, Dunkirk, and few others have changing aspect ratios on their Blu-ray & 4K releases, mimicking the IMAX versions.
Hello-
a question for people who saw Mission Impossible:Fallout at this theater’s IMAX auditorium this past summer. i just watched the blu-ray disc released last week and something odd happened that i had never seen before on a blu-ray disc. thru out the course of the film’s 2hrs. 27mins. the aspect ratio kept changing. it switched from the 2.35.1 ratio to filling the entire screen of my 39" 1080p LED t.v.. was that the way it was shown here?
Total seat count is now about 3254 (not including wheelchair seats).
Think the best one to ask is Dolby Cinema.

Confirmation that the Dolby Cinema at Odeon, LSQ (London, UK) will be the largest Dolby Cinema to date:

It’s a shame that the screen itself won’t be the largest of any Dolby Cinema worldwide.
Does anyone happen to know which cinema does have the largest Dolby Cinema screen?
Ads promoting dolby cinema at this theater refer to this theater as AMC Lincoln Square 13.
@LARGE_screen_format: She didn’t say. Comparing the new pics of the screen to older ones, it looks like it might be the same size. I plan to go back and will try to get the dimensions with the measuring app on my iPhone from the balcony.
@HowardBHaasHowardBHaas: I had forgotten that they used to raise the curtain before the show! I think there was even a musical accompaniment. The more I think about it, I think this Dolby conversion is a real net loss. I like Dolby Cinema very much but it wasn’t worth losing this very handsome contemporary movie space, the last one that remained in NYC. There was nothing like watching a film together with a full house of 1,000 moviegoers.
And here is a link to the full page movie ad for the 70mm Wild Bunch at “Sony Theatres Lincoln Square”:

@pL86 – Did the projection manager happen to mention the size of the new screen in the Dolby Cinema auditorium?
@ridethectrain – Thanks for taking and uploading those photos of the new Dolby Cinema installation.
Thanks, pl86. the Godfather would’ve been 35mm. I’d be eager if you dug thru old files for the classic 70mm screenings. That explains where that 1990s 70mm (blow up) of The Wild Bunch was. That huge screen & wonderful ornate auditorium, which used its curtain when it opened, would’ve been a great place for epic 70mm movies.
@HowardBHaas: A 70mm print of The Wild Bunch was shown in Loews in 1994 or 1995, shortly after I got to NYC for school. It was a blowup 70mm print but I didn’t complain. There was also the 70mm restoration of Vertigo in 1996 but that may have been at the Ziegfeld. And I saw The Godfather in the Loews in 1997 when it was re-released but it may have been 35mm. There have been other 70mm limited engagements but I’d have to dig through some old files. There were also new releases that got 70mm prints shown at the Loews like Paul Thomas Anderson’s The Master in 2012 and non-IMAX 70mm Dunkirk last year. I think some of Nolan’s other pics got 70mm prints in the Loews. And I think 70mm Titanic played in the Loews in 1997.
Just added photos of the Loews Auditorium now know as Dolby Cinema at AMC. Theatre has 297 seats based on the ushers timetable.
To correct one thing I posted above, the 70MM was moved from the Loews Theatre 1 to the Kings theatre 2, where it will now stay.
Which classic movies were shown in 70mm in the huge Loews auditorium?
To answer the question about the 70MM projector. It is owned by and is the property of Warner Bros Pictures. It was last installed in Cinema 2, the Loews Theatre. As of the last showings I had in March it was staying in that theatre and Warners did not want it moved in the future. This can change I guess in the future, but as of now, the 70MM projectors I oversee are here in Lincoln Square, cinema 2, Regal E Walk Cinema 12 and Garden State 16 Cinema 15.
