rayman29 Sundance was one of 3 names Carmike used for Dine-in locations. They also had Bogart’s Bar & Grill in Movico theaters and Ovation Cinema Grill.
Carmike acquired the Sundance Cinemas chain from Sundance Group on October 6, 2015 Basically Carmike made it a 4th brand but all the standard consumables were Carmike branded and the locations sold and refilled the Carmike popcorn bucket.

carmike had this one restriction from Sundance on the use of the name “Carmike can continue to operate the theaters using the Sundance brand but can’t use it elsewhere.”
AMC corporate is removing them as part of the “new branding alignment” the CEO decided to start after buying Carmike and decided having 7 brand names on the locations was going to get confusing. the main mission is to get every AMC owned theater to get an AMC neon sign installed. https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20170301005839/en/
they decided to standardize on three brands that act as feature set concepts. Dine-in locations have full commercial kitchens on site, “AMC” locations have the extended hot foods menu and are getting the full location upgrades first. Classic is a discount first run brand for smaller low traffic locations and have more discounts for rewards members mainly reusing the better ideas of Carmike.
it looks like it was 95%done before amc got control of Carmike as it looks like the default carmike theater look was already installed before they could switch it over to the AMC standard look. the inside looks like they got it in time to get the AMC signs up and get the Bar installed with there branding.
AMC has placed this theater under there AMC Classic branding that operates low traffic and smaller locations as first run budget theaters. they are last to get major upgrades but will be getting the Coke freestyle units and be keeping the popcorn bucket and the Tuesday discount for stubs members.
moviebuff82 https://www.amctheatres.com/dolby I assume your talking about this format vs IMAX. Dolby has the advantage of the Video wall entrance and the souround sound being in the recliner as those Auditorums use an Dolby designed seat and not the normal AMC recliners. you cant see it here in dolby though the only open NYC location for Dolby cinema is the AMC Empire 25 with AMC Loews 34th Street 14 listed as coming soon.
RobertR That’s the new standard marquee for all AMC locations after there upgraded. the yellow circle patterned metal plates is what there putting up to cover up the old “flex” sign spaces on the older locations generally to mount the new AMC signage all locations are getting under the new Branding push AMC is doing. having the showing films up on the entrance has been downplayed by internet listings most of my local theaters removed the Auditorium numbers and have the sign give the theater site to get showtimes. the theater was also renamed again to AMC Fresh Meadows 7 as the AMC Loews nameing is being phased out.
now the AMC Mountainside 10
New vision has rebranded this theater as “New Vision Theatres Cranford Theatre”

TYoung that job is usually handled by the box office LCD display menus at the upgraded locations.

just the standard and not the Dine-in version of the sign?

https://www.amctheatres.com/amc-store it looks like this is one of the theaters AMC put a movie collectable store in.
This location has AMC’s new self service concessions stand setup called “The Marketplace”

this theater is the description image for the Wikipedia article on Discount Theaters. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discount_theater
it has been re branded as the AMC CLASSIC Worthington 6 according to there site.
I wonder if AMC managed to get there video LCD Screens up at the auditorium doors at this one or if it already had the carmike LED text ones.
AMC is putting that yellow circle paneling up at all the re-branded and remodeled locations to cover up the removed flexible sign hole.
