This 16-screen megaplex opened on May 25, 2007 with 4,900-seats. The theater has DLP projection in at least one auditorium and two auditoria with rear window captioning.
The theater is the successor to the old Route 4 tenplex. Unlike that now closed theater, the new AMC Garden State 16 is attached to Garden State Plaza, the busiest mall in New Jersey.
This theater was originally supposed to be a Loews, but that changed (just like the Rockaway location) when AMC bought LCE. By 2023 it was operating with 15-screens. The total seating capacity was reduced to 4,423-seats

So I guess I got to see markp in the booth when I did my Barbenheimer on Saturday. Glad there is still a 70mm screen in Paramus, which was the closest place for it to where I grew up. Couldn’t believe how immense the Dolby Cinema screen is for a flat movie. Fifty feet tall? Sixty? Huge.
Right now more accurately a 15 screen, since the VR area built in the Theatre 1 space doesn’t appear to be a thing any more,
they took the seats out.
Joshua Bilmes, yes that would be this past saturday. Glad I gave you a great presentation.
Oppenheimer has been showing in 70mm in auditorium 15, with about 290 seats and a nice large screen that appears to be about 35 feet wide. For those interested, auditorium 5 sits about 485 and has a huge screen that appears to be 60 feet wide.
2 top notch, experienced projectionists projected almost 4 miles of film each time, including using a platter, of Oppenheimer, in regular 70mm (not IMAX) daily, starting July 21, last day Sept 21. A total of 224 shows. 4 shows Friday thru Sunday, 3 shows the other days. First 6 weeks the times were 8:45 AM, 12:45 PM, 4:45 PM, 8:45 PM. And 12:30 PM 4:30 PM. 8:30 PM. Final 3 weeks were 9:30 AM, 1:15 PM, 5:00 PM 8:45 PM. And Noon, 4:00 PM 8:00 PM. Some days Mark Joseph Pusillo was the projectionist. Other days Rich Rettino.

markp - Will you be running The Odyssey in 70mm here? I was talking to an employee here and they said there are specialists coming in to check the health of the projector and see if it needs to be fixed. AMC Cherry Hill 24 is the only other NJ theater possibly running it in 70mm. Do you have any additional info? Otherwise NYC will be playing this in 70mm, as well in 35mm and IMAX 70MM
Dan The Man yes I have been hired once again to run the 70MM. My partner Rich is again with me. We are going in on July 13 to check out the equipment and do some test runs. Tuesday we will most likely load and run the movie thru. We may be asked to help out at Cherry Hill, but that remains to be seen. I hope to give you another 100% perfect presentation.
markp - that is great news! Can’t wait to see this on a bigger screen! Hope folks come to see THE summer blockbuster. Keep film alive as well! This will be my first time watching anything in 70mm here. NYC theaters have great 70mm programs this summer.
