It’s my usual time to vent anger at this theater. So far this year outside of the opening week of Zero Dark Thirty we have gotten 4 films that opened sub 7 million that then were cut to 1 or 2 showings a day the 2nd week and then exit. These were Promised Land, The Last Stand, Movie 43 and Bullet in the Head. We have gotten Fresh Meadows dumpings of This is 40, Jack Reacher, Life of Pi (here 5 weeks after being there 8) and now Mama. Silver Linings Playbook this upcoming weekend will be in its weekend here. The longest I remember playing here was Chicago which clocked in here for 14 weeks. But wait it gets worse. Last week Argo came back for its week 7 here. It played here for the first 6 weeks it was wide and then exited. Last week it alternated showings with Movie 43, but I kid you not in it’s 8th here and 18th overall this weekend it plays all day on 2 screens!!! We couldn’t get a new film. Next week despite 4 major studio wide releases coming out, and we might get 1 they are bringing in another Korean film The Berlin Affair. Fresh Meadows is getting Die Hard. Per Boxoffice.com the only film next week predicted to open under 20 million on President’s Day weekend is Escape from Planet Earth which will probably come here. If you’re opening wide and predicted to do less than 10 million in the next few months, films like Phantom, Dark Skies and Dead Man Down you’ll probably be here. Any film that has a pulse will opened in the greatly reduced seating of Fresh Meadows. Well some will get thrown over after their 4th week or so from Fresh Meadows. Does anyone out their ever get frustrated with this theater, the Cinemart of higher prices in Northeast Queens.
The theaters are the same size but the seats are bigger and with the capability of putting your legs up maybe take 3 rows. There is levels for each row too, so G in theater 7 is above F and F is above E, guess stadium seating. Never thought AMC’s Bay Terrace 6 would sit more people now.
Went here today for the first time since all the renovations and now the reserved seating. When you go they show you a floor plan of each cinema on the computer. They point out the unsold areas. The capacity seating for each cinema has been greatly reduced. I think prior to this,one cinema sat over 400 and maybe 4 sat 250. Now the biggest screen, screen 4 accomodates 175. Upstairs theater 7 is 100 seats, 6 is 105 and 5 is 98. Downstairs the small one sits 62, theater 2 now 74 and theater 3 is in the 80’s. In addition if people lean back in the chairs with their feet up in the air it makes it difficult for people who say have to go the bathroom to get out as people do or don’t adjust their seats. Wth the total seating capacity of the place greatly reduced I would think the profit margins for this cinema have been greatly diminshed.
There are no listings for numerous theaaters this weekend? Have these theaters been affected by Hurricane Sandy? It seems like Nassau County has 93% of their customers without electricity and Suffolk has 74% out.
AMC for 2 weeks is using this theater to test only 16 ounce sugary sodas. You can only buy at the moment bigger sodas for diet Coke and Coke Zero. They had people from Edison Research quizzing us as we left the theaters on what we thought of the new law for only small sizes of sugary sodas being sold in cinemas effective in March 2013.
In addition their bathroom at this theater today was pretty bad. One stall had a seat broken in half and another had all the toilet paper all over the floor.
Apparently the downstairs theaters must be done or will be finished this week. On Friday 4 films are scheduled to be running there although all still starting after 4 PM.
Went to 1:40 PM showing of “Atlas Shrugged II: The Strike” here today, $10 for matinee!!! $10 for matinee, is that price for all showings and they have no discounted times. If it is that’s quite extreme.
Was here yesterday to see “End of Watch”. The bottom area where the downstairs 3 screens are is closed off with a door to get through which you can see from the level you walk in from. The refreshment stand is gone and the ventilation system downstairs is gutted. Upstairs refreshment stand is open which I’ve never seen before but rarely have I gone to this theater in the evening. Wonder if their films opening will be in Bay Terrace Saturday and Sunday again. They have construction signs up saying the place will be worked on last weekend and the upcoming weekend between 7 AM and 5 PM each day. Bathroom has a new floor coming in
No, Fresh Meadows is closed this weekend, nothing on their marquee and both End of Watch and House at the End of the Street are playing Bay Terrace now, but only this weekend at the moment.
The theater is open again but still only 3 screens. They have openers End of Watch and House at the End of the Street plus a moveover of ParaNorman from Bay Terrace. According to the Bay Terrace manager the theater is getting totally redone in sections, not just new air conditioning but new seats, new designs on the walls etc. Wxpected to be fully back to normal in November and will seem like a brand new theater.
Actually, Resident Evil and The Possession will play Bay Terrace all week. This theater is closed this week but will reopen next week. They are getting their air conditioning fixed.
Due to the renovations of the Fresh Meadows theater the AMC Bay Terrace theater has both openers (Finding Nemo 3D and Resident Evil: Retribution) but also gets the Possession and the Expendables 2 from here. Now get this both Resident Evil and the Possession are only in Bay Terrace Friday and Saturday. Bay Terrace says Fresh Meadows is closed for a week and they’re playing their pictures. Now End of Watch scheduled to open the 21st has its times up on Fandango and the regular early morning shows seem to be back. Originally they said 3 or 4 months. Where do Resident Evil and the Possession go the rest of the week?

They are still open, went by the theater this afternoon. They are renovating the downstairs area so there will be only the 3 upstairs theaters open for the next to 3 or 4 months. Of course who knows if the escalator will be working. The regular ticket booth is closed off with them using the one closest to the expressway now. They say we have pictures AMC Bay Terrace doesn’t have but they’re getting nothing new this week. On Fandango only the film “End of Watch” opening September 21 has advance tickets being sold. Should be interesting here in the AMC theaters in this neck of the woods through the Christmas season.
Is there anyting weird happening here. The websites for Moviephone and Fandango show like only 5 pictures are there on 3 screens and the theater is opening after 3 pm. Also no one is answering their telephone. I know they have had escalator and elevator problems and last week when I went to “Expendibles 2” the bathroom floor was all covered up with some part of the floor missing. They show advance ticket sales for a film opening September 21 but Bay Terrace is getting the 2 openers this week and are selling another advance one. Are they having repair work done to the theater?
Due to the inclement weather today my wife wanted to see “The Intouchables” and we went here. This was my first visit to this theater. Does not give out free posters like the Kew Gardens theater nor independent film news like the one in Manhassett.
Went to “Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter” yesterday here at 12:30 pm and matimee price was up 50 cents to $9. Wonder has the evening price gone up too.

That should read there are levels for each row too.

Looks like the theater returns to being a 7 plex Friday.
Reserved seating now, oooh.

Are you kidding me, $13.50 non matinee showings. I think this is even more expensive than Manhattan.

I notice the Cinemart has no weekday showings this week before 4 PM. What’s going on here?

It’s August now and as we drove by there today nothing is happening, it’s just deserted.
Went to “Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter” yesterday here at 12:30 pm and matimee price was up 50 cents to $9. Wonder has the evening price gone up too.
Alright,I spoke too fast, we’re now getting Battleship and The Dictator along with Brave and the Amazing Spider-man.
