Typical, the 2 theaters in which make them money. Why they don’t advertise the other ones I have no idea. Also I’d like to note that they don’t always publish the show times, just what movies are playing. Pure genius.
Very nicely said. I’ve managed 3 low end theaters and mostly 2 high end. I honestly could not agree more.
I would like to see, especially the big mega’s hiring better staff who have passion and who know how to control a situation with large crowds. It seems at most theaters even the managers don’t no how. As well as, most of all, paying better. At the AMC river east 21 here in downtown Chicago a majority of the staff absolutely hates their job and doesn’t care one bit about quick efficient customer service. And it shows severely. The experience is horrible.
I volunteered to try to help reopen this theater. She was beautiful and will always be fondly remembered. At one point I fired up the original theater speakers and we watched matrix digitally projected. Of course I’m all about film, but I’m very glad to of had that opportunity.
Yet another one bits the dust. Why does this keep happening! I just cant stand this any more.
The Village art at 1548 North Clark in Chicago IL is currently open, yet there is a for rent sign over the marquee for summer 2006. Though the theater does need a little bit of a revitalization it has heart and if money was spent in the right places it could do wonders. All it takes is a little showmanship. I’m a manager for currently operator and would be happy to chat with you if your interested.
I sure hope Village does not pick this theater up. They should focus on cleaning up their current theaters like the Village North and Village Art before they pick up another cinema. Not to mention any theater Village seems to acquire they seem to run completely into the ground. They just don’t care. See the Burnham Plaza, Water Tower Place and the Biograph.
They do not put ads any where. Because business dropped so much due to lack of ads and people not knowing the theater was actually open they had to put ads in. Who knows how long that will last.
The biggest theater was quite spacious and nice. 500 seats not stadium style but traditional. You just don’t get that with the mega’s these days. The Lincoln Village 1-6 is one of the few remaining theaters of this Cineplex Odeon style remaining.

Be advised, this company is run by morons.

A “for rent summer 2006” sign has gone up over the marquee.
Theater 3 is running full DTS digital sound, and theater 2 is soon going to be upgraded.

Village entertainment has acquired this theater from Loews. It’s open.
