JodarMovieFan, I saw “Licorice Pizza” in 70mm at NYC’s Village East. I document the 70mm screenings for the 70mm newsletter, so that’s why I asked. I was not aware either Landmark showed films in 70mm. The movie is worthwhile & looked great in 70mm.
I’m told by Mark the projectionist that “It’s A Wonderful Life” print is a pristine 35mm print, from the Library of Congress, looking glorious! It will be screened tomorrow at 2 PM and 7 PM.
Since for years, I’ve sat in the Uptown balcony, it would be disappointing if the balcony became a 2nd screen. It the entire theater was divided left to right, that would be even worse. New seats would be fine. I doubt Landmark anywhere has any Dolby Vision or Dolby Atmos surround sound, but that would be great, too. If Landmark could get the curtain used again, that would also be nice.
Brandon, I was on the block today but did not take a photo of this or the Roxy. The facade of the closed Roxy, which is for sale, looked the same as my last photo in August which I have now added to the Roxy’s page.
The new Edgar Wright horror movie, “Last Night in Soho” shows a theater with “Thunderball” as part of 1960s swinging London. This theater, the Haymarket was used for that shot! Not sure if any interiors of the Haymarket were used in the film, did not see the lobby or any views of the auditorium as such, though there was some red backgrounds that might have been used in the film in interior scenes.
I sit in the balcony & have not had a problem with subtitles. Is there news about the Cinema I & II? for those interested, the Paris has now begun showing “Waiting for the Forty Year Version” in 35mm and a series of 31 classic films that premiered at the Paris!
In 2021, the building was redone to be open office spaces. Philadelphia artist Hannah Taylor painted on the facade a mural of silent film actress Theda Bara as a nod to the building’s movie theater heritage.
the longtime building owner says she will reopen by the Fall. https://www.northjersey.com/story/news/essex/montclair/2021/05/14/montclair-nj-bellevue-theater-reopen-fall/5074763001/
The downtown Warner still exists, but as a jewelry mart so there’s no Last Remaining Seats movies there. The United Artists is the other downtown palace that ought to be included in your fine short list of ones to experience a movie at a special event. And El Capitan should be added to your short list that includes the Chinese and Westwood Fox for movies.

JodarMovieFan, is “Licorice Pizza” the Paul Anderson film, to play here or Bethesda or both, in 70mm?

Lionel, yes, “Last Night in Soho” was very exciting and very much set in London. It is worthwhile.

John Webster advises me he that this photo is from last week.
I will add that my friend Matthew took this photo Thursday October 7 while attending “No Time to Die” the James Bond movie.
Wow!
488 seats. One of the 2 largest auditoriums when built, the other is now the RPX auditorium. Not counting the Imax which is different.

I saw Hamlet in 70mm at the Paris.

Yes, I think Call Me By Your Name was the longest running movie in recent years.

that seems to be an update on an outdoor fountain.

I meant the screen is set to flat.
