Cinepolis Succasunna

Where is Loew’s/AMC building at? I thought it might have been by Target but the Dick’s sign went up there…

I’ve been turned away from shows there- it’s a mix of location (on a busy highway), the fact theres places to shop and eat in the area, it’s an area insitution (its been there for what, like 30 years now) and movie goers from the area who formerly went to the AMC theaters at Rockaway now have their choice between Cinema 10, Cinema 12 or Mansfield – reducing the screen count to 6, and the Rockaway theaters were extremly popular, Cinema 10 is the next best choice.

By the way, is construction comming along on the Loews/AMC Rockaway or has the project been shelved due to the merger and the current state of the exhibition industry?

Why is cinema 10 so successfull?

So, when do the two new screens open? I know it’s in mid-November, just in time for the new Harry Potter. Is it still delayed by weather problems? In other news, parking is allowed only near Kohls and not near the theatre as they are hard at work on those two new screens at the Succasunna “8”.

I had remembered reading that the two new theaters would in total add 500 seats to the capacity – I’m guessing those will be large screened houses – no where though have I read that they will have stadium seating which is odd considering these are new constructions. I have my doubts about Clearview Cinemas building an IMAX theater, they are a small chain, they’ve only opened, I think two new theaters, although they have renovated all of them. Next I hope they get to Cinema 12 (the seating is 10 years old and the sound still creeps in from other theaters). Cinema 10 is constantly packed (more so now until AMC/Loews hits Rockaway) but I doubt an IMAX theater would work in that market (they ussually are in more urban markets in multiplexes – note Buckland Hills in Hartford, CT, Channelside Cinemas 9 in Clearwater, FL, City Center 15 in White Plains, NY and several others). Roxbury/Succasunna wouldn’t have the audience to suport that type of content on a week by week basis. Even if they were to convert a screen to show IMAX films (like Buckland Hills and City Center did), even if it were #5, the idea would not be accepted due to the lack of stadium seating and space needed for a giant screen. Currently the Mansfield Clearview is the multiplex (not single screen convert with balcony seating) only one in their chain with stadium seating (if you could even call it that).

Just read on the board for Roxbury on NJ.com that Clearview is building some kind of IMAX Theatre. This is just a rumor, so a multiplex that size couldn’t allow a giant screen theatre, doesn’t it?

He must be reading CinemaTour alot. The thread was beginning to remind me of their members.

Today is the day that the Succasunna theatre is finally open after nearly a month of renovations…any new updates on the theatre that I should know? I’m going to the Mansfield to see “Saw II”.

just checked the listings for succasunna..no saw ii yet..but harry potter will be playing there!!! yippee!!!

Saw the theatre right across from Shop-Rite, and boy, they are busy doing work on it; they even boarded up the theatre to disguise its identity.

From what I hear, the opening will be delayed because of both weather and normal construction delays. The total project completion will most likely be delayed as well.

In the papers, the theatre is listed as “closed for renovations”, which is good news for the old cinema.

Justin, that post was irrelevant. The world here doesn’t need to hear about your trials and tribulations about what’s playing where and when. Not to sound harsh, but you get the point.
