Luis, Perhaps you mean YOU won’t miss those in Manhattan other than the Ziegfeld. Most of Clearview theaters are not in Manhattan and many are historic theaters. Many of those theaters would be missed by their communities. For that matter, in Manhattan, many people will miss the Chelsea and the others. They are not devoid of repeat customers.
Al, it sure sounds like from the news (repeated below) posted on the Chelsea 9 page by Luis, that Clearview must have sold their interest, too:
Chelsea Cinema Shocker…….
According to this weeks issue of The Real Deal, the real estate industry’s bible, Chelsea Cinemas is in contract to be sold and will most likely be torn down for a hotel leaving Chelsea without a nabe theater.
The quote is as follows: “Chelsea Cinemas could close soon. A hotelier is in contract to buy the nine-screen cinema, according to Faith Hope Consolo, chairman of the retail leasing and sales division at Prudential Douglas Elliman, who is working with the hotelier.
Consolo would not reveal the identity of the developer or the asking price for the space, which is owned by Mutual Redevelopment Houses Inc. She said her client is interested in building a boutique hotel of up to 10 stories, hoping to capitalize on the gallery-going crowd.
You don’t need to buy tickets for a 4:30 PM weekday show. With more than 1100 seats, the Ziegfeld won’t sell out.
I really don’t think it will sell out even for a weekend show. That’s a lot of seats! However, for weekend shows, buying tickets in advance would assure people they won’t have to stand in long ticket lines.
The print which I saw at the Loews Jersey was from a private collector.
Great that the Grand is presenting this epic. It does deserve to be seen on a larger than life movie screen rather than simply on a TV set.
Legal, you answered my question by failing to identify yourself and continuing to write in such a fashion that nobody can understand. Merely because you can plaque a theater page from a community theater does not mean you should do so.
This is the part of the above comment that sounds like babble:
This venue has been in violation of wrongful advertisment of product as non-profit organization exhibition conflict ad pages Two Rivers Times.flyers/etc in 1992.
“Legal” what on earth???
I don’t understand your 1st sentence and those movie titles. 1992? Are those films shown at this theater?
Are you legal counsel or representative for an entity involved? If so, can you please state YOUR name and position?
If you involved in an official capacity, who are you to state who’s in violation of what?
And, if you are, this website might not be the appropriate forum for such posts.
I’m not involved in any way as an attorney at law in this matter.
Warren, people then dressed up when they went to the movies, in cities, too, right? Philadelphia’s Boyd Theatre didn’t have stage shows, and the photos we have from then of people waiting in line or arriving also show people were dressed up.
Not so relevant for this website, but Bambergers set up in the 1960s or 1970s in suburban Philadelphia malls. Not Macy’s, as apparently parent company Federated thought the local New Jersey store would attract more customers than a NYC store.
Oh, and I’ve walked around in downtown Newark. Let’s hope it revives and the closed historic theaters that were not demolished have a chance to reopen.
Warren, that’s a rude comment. I hope the Reverand, and his church, which have so magnficiently maintained this glorious movie palace and made it available (at tours, concerts, etc) for the public to see and enjoy, both live on for a long, long time. They deserve the gratitude of all fans of historic movie palaces.
1999 Time Out (count about the same in more recent versions) of Time Out London says 520 seats in Aud 1; 2: 66, 3: 91, 4: 265, 5:171, 6: 204 and that (in 1999)screens 2 & 3 were air conditioned.
How was the theater divided up, in terms of which screens were placed in Stalls and in Circle and anywhere else? Where’s the 520 seat auditorium & what’s it like? (how big is the screen)
bbtommix, theaters like this & Rialto in S. Pasadena would likely cost MILLIONS to acquire.

Louis, Clearview’s parent is Cablevision which owns Madison Square Garden, Radio City, etc. Comcast owns no theaters.

as the graphic refers to the 40th anniv., I’m going to bet a great print of the original movie, not all of them.
LuisV, that’s not an article from last month, but from December, posted on the homepage of this website.
If any “final decision” has been made, it hasn’t been posted here yet.

Many thanks to Ken Roe for adding the premiers to the Intro.

Ah, I meant “plague”

Yes, a very wonderful photo! Love the curtain.

Stevebob, that’s what the press reports about the lobby. What’s your version?
Maybe for the East Coast, but not world premiere,

actually demolished January 2002. A few months later, I saw the empty lot.
I can assure you that this will be deleted, probably this very weekend.
MikeRa- That dramatic ending is already in the Introduction.
I liked the comments, William. Thank you!
