Cinemark Watchung opening Thu, Apr 18, 2019 – A9 · The Courier-News (Bridgewater, New Jersey) · Newspapers.com
Went here Tuesday night to see “Last Christmas.” This is only the 3rd time we have been here. I must say they have settled in very nice. Concession lines moved quickly and they had all items stocked. Popcorn was real tasty. Sound and picture was again top notch. And the heated seats felt real nice on a cold fall night.
The opening of this theater has caused the Westfield theater to close down besides the expiring lease.

Oh one more negative, at least for me. The screen was fixed at 1.85 ratio, meaning Scope would be letterboxed. Im not a fan of that, as a life long projectionist.
Went here today to see “Ugly Dolls.” Small lobby. Did not see the entire building as we were in theatre 9 to the right. I did take a peak into number 10, the XD screen. This theatre is stadium. Looks like 2 thru 9 are on one side with raked seating and Im assuming theatre 1 is also stadium but I wasn’t on that side of the building. Small restrooms for 10 screens. Seats were recliners and heated. Sound and projection spot on. Very clean. Now for a few negatives. They had some issues at first for my wife to get her points. No cheese for the nachos and no receipt at concession. Also no trash can in or at the exit of each theatre. Ill give them a pass since they only been open 2 weeks. Will definitely return.
A friend of mine went here last night to see Avengers. She said its very nice, but the lobby is real small. Restrooms are past the ticket taker. Staff seemed a bit overwhelmed at concession which she said was to be expected. Comfy recliners. She said its really nice.
The theatre opens tonight April 18.
