Theater officially reopened as Phoenix Theatres Lennox Town Center 24 owned by Phoenix Theatres
Officially reopening on 12/22/2020 as LENNOX TOWN CENTER 24 THEATRES. One IMAX theatre and One Dolby Atmos theater. First-Run movies will begin on 12/25/2020.
I’m not surprised. This was usually a very busy theatre. It could use some updating, though. Not much has changed since it opened. It will be interesting to watch the progress of this.
Local news has reported that Phoenix plans to reopen the theatre about December 25,2020 with much of the same staff.
Here’s some good news Phoenix Theatres will be taking over this theater and possibly keeping the IMAX screen and converting the Dolby Cinema into a PTX Screen
My assumption based on this article is that this theatre closed as part of AMCs lease negotiations with EPR. the article mentions that EPR can close up to 7 locations as part of their lease negotiations as a result of the COVID shutdown. This is one location owned by EPR and it was a busy location prior to its closing. https://www.google.com/amp/s/abc13.com/amp/amc-studio-30-closed-movie-theater-on-dunvale-near-richmond-entertainment/7830726/
No It’s AMC’s money that is being flushed down the toilet thanks to the pandemic.
This theatre has just added Dolby Cinema and upgrade their IMAX screen to laser What a waste of screens and money.
Sadly closed and removed from the AMC website after the evening of 11/29/20. AMC Stubs members that had “favorited” the Lennox location as their preferred theater received an email stating that the location had closed and their preferred theater had changed.
Great news about the Dolby Cinema upgrade. Couldn’t stand having to deal with parking at Easton. Especially during the month of December. Stinking Disney releasing Star Wars during the holidays…
Dolby Cinema added in Spring, 2019.
Bar coming to Lennox 24.
From the Columbus Dispatch, 3/2/12:
AMC Entertainment will open a bar at its Lennox Town Center theater this month.
The Kansas City-based movie-theater chain is also planning to open a restaurant at its Easton theater, though the opening date is not yet available.
AMC has added the “MacGuffins” bar concept to about 20 of its 347 theaters in the United States and Canada, said spokesman Ryan Noonan.
The Lennox Town Center location, which is near Grandview Heights, will have chairs and stools to provide customers with a place to meet before or after a show. Customers can also order drinks and take them into the auditoriums.
“It’s another opportunity for us to provide more options to guests,” Noonan said.
The company lists an Easton restaurant on the “coming soon” area of its website. No further information was provided.
Digital Imax, installed in Theatre 12, opened on 10/2/09 with CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF MEATBALLS. A large IMAX sign has been put up on the west end of the theatre building.
I have heard that IMAX is thinking about differentiating between the various flavors of IMAX. Some of the names they are considering are:
IMAX Grand
Imax Traditional
The Original IMAX Experience
IMAX Digital
The current multiplex installations are fine for what they are, but they pale in comparison to original IMAX on a 60' by 80' screen!
Another IMAX light installation.
This theatre will be adding a Digital IMAX unit in theater 12 in time for the September opening of CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF MEATBALLS. This is one of the 4 large theatres directly off the lobby. I was told the screen would be slightly larger than the screen at AMC EASTON 30.
Standard AMC 24-plex, with 10 screens left, 10 screens right, and the 4 largest screens in the center. All rooms have digital sound, originally all SDDS with a few Dolby Digital and DTS in the larger rooms. Not sure of the current set up.
One moderate sized room has digital projection equipped for 3-D.
Many of the rooms have Torus screens.
Located within sight of the Ohio State University football stadium, this theatre does an excellent business with the college students. A bus runs from campus to the theatre and its adjoining shopping center.
Called the LENNOX because this location used to be a plant for Lennox heating and cooling equipment.
One of the largest grossing theatres in the area.
