Theater 1 indeed has no masking ability. Theater 10 and 14 does have masking and should be in working order again. For a time, last year, 10 was out of order.
Theater 8 (Dolby) and Theater 13 (IMAX) has no masking abilities.bWhich is common for those formats.
All other theaters 2 - 7, 9 - 12, and 14 have masking.
I am not yet closing the book on this being the end of this Regal theater. Hopefully a new deal
can be struck with the landlord
for the Union Square. Previously other theaters were listed and then got a reprieval. Maybe here too.
If not, this location is crying out to be the city’s first Cinemark location!
Also, people like having the recliners, and with the remodel they decided to keep regular seats to fit more people. But, the people aren’t coming in for the extra seats, except for the blockbuster titles.
Union square has become LESS ATTRACTIVE since it’s remodel.
They no longer have masking of the screens to match the flat or scope ratios.
Also their screens have become SMALLER. Watching scope movies on most of their screens are now very unattractive. Especially in theaters 4, 5, and 12.
Also, after remodel, many of the EXIT signs are in very bad places. Some screens, like theater 2, have the EXIT sign see through behind the movie screen.
BenPaz The theater did indeed look like the drawing design in this article. It wasn’t until the theater had a makeover around June 7, 2002 that it changed. During that renovation, five more screens were added along with stadium seating in 12 of the now 14 auditoriums.
It looks like the new lobby has an area for a box office, but it’s not in use. There is a series of about eight kiosks in the lobby. People are told to go to concessions upstairs if paying by cash, etc..
Work is due to start soon on the theater upstairs. Rumors of a bar in the area of the old Coca Cola Freestyle to be made.
I was told yesterday that theater 12 will become the new auditorium for 4DX. And theater 2, which currently has 4DX, will become a ScreenX.
I just googled the address of the theater, 106 Court St, Brooklyn, NY 11201, and typed real estate.
Looks like space at this address, 12 levels worth, which is what this theater has, is down as retail space available for lease.
So it sounds like the theaters days are numbered. When, is anybody’s guess, but it looks like it’s been available for 7 months now.
Who knows if the fate of the Barnes n Noble is numbered too. They are located next door in the same building.
As of Saturday January 15th 2021, theater is open and operating as normal. Posters inside we’re changed and feature NEW upcoming movies. Sunday has a very light schedule where most movies only have two early showtimes. Other new movies like Belle and Scream 5 have showings up till 8pm.
Update: Showtimes for Monday thru Thursday January 20th have been added and are active for purchase. But only Belle and Scream 5 have showtimes, and all the others from the weekend are not posted. Theaters upstairs 9, 10 and 11 have screenings.
It is possible that the theater will get a renovation and not close? No one at the theater is giving any good answers and seem “clueless” to any rumors. Unless they know something yet can’t say anything to the public.
Renovations begin to update E-Walk appearance to the new, updated Regal design (similar to Essex Crossing and the Union Square update). Work started on the entrance/box-office area first using the space previously used by Starbucks. The original entrance / box-office area closed around second week of December 2021. That space is supposedly going to a new Target coming next door.
Work stopped at top of lower escalators, with more changes to come.
Most auditoriums that are flat are NOT recommended
to view scope (widescreen) films. most notably theaters
4, 5, 9, and 12.
Before the renovations and unmasking of the screens. any
of the original 14 theaters would have been fine to view
either flat or scope movies. Now, do some research BEFORE
choosing to see a movie theater. Know if the film you want
to see is flat or scope, and which theater it is playing in.
Otherwise you will be seeing a movie that is not may be way
too small on their very small screens.
Aspect ratio of the new Dolby Cinema screen (Theater 8) is a extremely big scope screen!
Also, I have noticed that they removed the Loews Theaters plaques that were above the movie posters around the theater. And there are paper-made directions signs all around the theater emphasizing AMC, not AMC Loews.
The marquee outside still says Loews.
I would surmise that this theater is next to be converted to an official AMC soon. That would leave only the Orpheum and Lincoln Square as the last two New York City theaters with Loews design and name afterwards.
Conversion from AMC Loews to AMC is about complete now.
No longer an interior design of Loews. Now officially an AMC in all aspects. All six theaters were “gutted” and redone. Now with recliners. The recliners feature a heat button, that warms your back in the cold weather. Some of the auditoriums are now slightly stadium.
Masking is no longer featured here. All screens are scope, except for theater three, which is flat. Which means in theater three, scope movies are projected on the flat screen with visible black bars on top and bottom (looks like letterboxed). The other theaters show flat movies with visible bars on the sides. Why they decided to take away the masking during this renovation is another blunder of and idea when AMC renovates or makes new theaters.
Theater 7 is now equipped to screen 70mm features. So far 70mm films screened were first run DUNKIRK and PHANTOM THREAD. Repertory films screened were John Carpenter’s THE THING. Promised to be screened in 2018 is HOWARD THE DUCK.
The UA Sheepshead Bay’s ushers are not very courteous. Sheepshead Bay ushers don’t care if people are still watching the credits and usually downright refuse to shut off the lights to wait until the movie is over. They hustle in and turn on those damn bright lights to clean the theater. It should be a rule that if any customers are still in the theater watching the credits roll, the ushers must wait till it’s all over to clean the theater! No exceptions!
The ushers are better now than stated back in 2006. While they might turn on the house lights to clean during the credits, then won’t usually turn them on if people are still in the theater watching. Unlike the UA Sheepshead Bay’s ushers, Court Street’s ushers are very courteous. Sheepshead Bay doesn’t care if people are still watching the credits and usually downright refuse to shut off the lights to wait until the movie us over!

This would be the perfect spot for a new Landmark Theaters. Especially after the loss of the Sunshine Cinema.

I assume that theater 12 will be changed first.
@zootopialover98
ScreenX was auditorium 4

@ridethectrain Theater 11 is indeed a flat screen. Only scope screens are theaters 3, 14, 15 and 16.
Theater 4 is currently undergoing a renovation.
Looks like it may become a ScreenX theater.

Theater 1 - flat Theater 2 - flat Theater 3 (Screen X) - scope Theater 4 - flat (very tiny room) Theater 5 - flat (very tiny room) Theater 6 (4DX) - flat Theater 7 - flat Theater 8 - flat Theater 9 - flat (tiny room) Theater 10 - flat Theater 11 - flat Theater 12 - flat Theater 13 (RPX) - flat Theater 14 - scope Theater 15 - scope Theater 16 - scope Theater 17 - large flat screen
