Where are those photos? I clicked on that site and it only showed an exterior night shot.
CinemarkFan:
That’s a balcony shot…and a pretty murky one so I can’t tell where the heck the exit doors are.
The shot just before that one has a 3 aisle configuration – always a tell tale sign of (semi) proper widescreen presentation.
This article – View link – says that the screen is 75 x 38 feet By comparison, The Dome is 86 x 32 feet.
The first 3 points don’t matter! The Premiere House can have all the ballyhoo it wants – if the other 14 screens are all 40 x 22 feet, then the place is a BUST! All the flashy neon and chandeliers in the world won’t compensate for seeing Avatar on a postage stamp sized screen in December! That’s what makes Arclight Arclight – they put just as much care into their regular auditoriums as they did for the whole complex.
I believe AEG owns Regal. I’ve read articles on the theater that refer to them as AEG Regal LA Live.
And yeah, 14 screens is too much. I could see playing it on 7 of the screens, then you could program 7 other flicks too.
Anyway, I’m even more determined to get my theater corpration off the ground and get ahold of a proposed development here in Chicago, because the location would be perfect for me to construct a theater that would put to rest this “premiere” screen at LA Live. I mean c'mon, they spent 100 million dollars to build this place, and they couldn’t get the screen right. When I think of “premiere auditorium”, I think of a screen that looks almost as big as this

Can’t help but think that opening the Michael Jackson film “This Is It” on all 14 screens is overkill. Oh, that’s right – doesn’t AEG own LA Live?
Uhh Chris, I looked at the photo of the screen in the “premiere” auditorium, and it looks like Regal couldn’t curb their habbit of top-down screen masking. If you look closely at picture #8 at this link, you can see that the screen while covered up with curtains, has exit doors close on both sides of screen. It’s a setup just like the new AMC builds, or Pacific Grove 14. And with that setup, you know that the screen can’t expand at the sides.
Oh well, it least the decor looks great. Kudos to Regal for that. But for those in LA, the
W-I-D-E-S-C-R-E-E-N experience is at the Arclight or Grauman’s Chinese.
I look forward to building a movie theater in the future, because when it comes to “wall-to-wall screens”, I’m going to show them how it’s done.
Just checked out Fandango…looks like “This Is It” is staying on all 14 screens through Friday.
Won’t they switch to regular programming on Wednesday 10/28?
Opening engagement will be Michael Jackson’s This Is It on all fourteen screens.
