I was here today and not one escalator in the damn multiplex was working. I guess they could shut ‘em down because crowds were light. Everyone must have been across the street where STAR BORES VI was showing on 11 screens. It did boffo box office over the last four days, raking in a record $150M worth of tickets.

Fear not for the E-Walk. They are getting their own tent pole soon. WAR OF THE WORLDS, with Spielberg & Cruise, is coming to the E-Walk. There weren’t too many people at the EXORCIST prequel that I caught.

Wow. We need a time machine so we can see the streets from the old days that way!

BTW, A9.com is owned by Amazon, which explains the hosting (as well as the A9 search links on the IMDB, also Amazon-owned).

Amazon owns the A9.com search engine.

There is a new feature in the A9.com search engine – neighborhood photos for major cities. While I don’t consider this theater a “cinema treasure”, I thought that it would be an easy test case for the feature. Here is the search result, which is somehow hosted by Amazon (they have a way of getting into everything):

Reportedly AMC didn’t know that their competitor was planning the E-Walk with its 13 screens literally across the street. That is why the 25-screen AMC ‘plex shows art films “at the top” of the AMC 'plex. Not enough product out to film up 38 screens.

I was wondering if the name ‘E-Walk’ was inspired by certain George Lucas characters.

It’s a hip, easy-to-roll-off-the-tongue marketing term for ‘Entertainment Walk’. The complex the Loews Theatre on 42nd Street resides within also serves as home to several shops and restaurants – all the better to flitter away the money of tourists and other assorted folk with plenty of discretionary cash to burn.

What does the name ‘E-Walk’ mean?
