There’s actually more space in there than you’d think. Everything is set up like tetris. It’ll have to be a small kitchen and obviously small theatres but I see them putting the kitchen where the employee break room was.

By the way the caption says it closed in November, which is incorrect.. The theatre is closing on the 6th of this month and my former co-manager was just working there tonight.

Theatre 4 is the “prime” theatre; all of the best performing movies went into it. Theatre 3 is similar (and actually has a restroom when you walk in). Theatres 1 and 2 were part of the original large screen and have the same blue seats. They’re fairly large but they’re at an angle to the current screens because they were set when the building was built. It also gets a lot colder in those theatres and there are more broken seats.

I worked there recently and it was hard for us to break even, we were cutting costs every way we could. It’s sad, really, to see it go down like that.

It’s actually all about contract. There have been plans to renovate the place into a dine-in theatre but for the rent the landlord wants it’s not cost-efficient enough to keep the location. The contract goes up within the year.

Well everyone, the old Cinemeccanica projectors are a thing of the past for the AVCO Cinemas. I’m very proud to say I was the last person to thread the last three(we converted theatre 4 back to digital in October). It’s very sad to see all of them sitting in booth without a home but AMC is making large steps to revive this beautiful and historic theatre. Hopefully soon, people will be lining up again to see our films!
