Author Topic: Theaters still running 35mm (please read the specifics) Steve Kraus Film God Posts: 4094 From: Chicago, IL, USA Registered: May 2000 posted 01-05-2014 12:08 AM                    Buffalo Grove (Illinois) mentioned above now says on their website that they have made the conversion to digital. Still looking for donations to help keep prices down as their digital loan costs them $4000 a month. I'll try to get over there soon to see if I can see what they used.  |  IP: Logged Buck Wilson Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 894 From: St. Joseph MO, USA Registered: Sep 2010 posted 01-05-2014 12:49 AM                     Royal Twin, open weekends only, first and second run, film only.

(confirming they have not upgraded since my last visit).  |  IP: Logged Mick Wren Film Handler Posts: 1 From: Towcester, Northamptonshire, UK Registered: Dec 2013 posted 01-06-2014 04:02 AM                        According to presenters at the recent (Nov. 2013) Europa Cinemas Conference in Athens southern European countries hit by the recession are seriously struggling to convert to digital. Greece has over 60% of it's cinemas without digital projection. Italy, Spain and Cyprus are not far ahead.  |  IP: Logged Jason McMillan Film Handler Posts: 68 From: Houston, TX, USA Registered: Dec 2009 posted 01-06-2014 10:53 AM                     Three that I know of in Houston, TX: AMC Loews Spring 10 First Run, 10 screens There are two independent sub-runs owned by a gentleman named Stephen Tsao under the name "Discount Movie Center Inc" Windchimes Cinema 8 Screens North Oaks Cinema 6 Screens (Until recently there was FunAsia Bollywood Cinema 6 in the Southwest part of town, but they've shuttered and are now showing their content at the Carmike Yorktown 15. I guess that's one way to get out of having to pay for new equipment.)  |  IP: Logged Buck Wilson Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 894 From: St. Joseph MO, USA Registered: Sep 2010 posted 01-09-2014 12:30 AM                     Things are getting quite serious in the land of film. We at the Plaza 8 are having a very difficult time getting prints. No Wolf of Wall Street, no American Hustle, and several that are doubtful like Madea. We're going on week 3 with no fresh content release. Sure makes Thursdays feel strange. Such a shame.....  |  IP: Logged Terry Lynn-Stevens Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1081 From: Toronto, Ontario, Canada Registered: Dec 2012 posted 01-09-2014 08:21 AM                     Buck, it is going to become even worse. Surprisingly some of the independents are still making 35mm prints.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-09-2014 11:14 AM                        From Page 1: quote: The point of this thread is to get an idea how many FILM-ONLY theaters are still in operation... Finally, no jibber jabber about the industry please.  |  IP: Logged Jim Cassedy Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1661 From: San Francisco, CA Registered: Dec 2006 posted 01-09-2014 01:18 PM                     4-Star Theater San Francisco 2 Screens - 35mm only (and no jibber-jabber!)  |  IP: Logged Bernie Anderson Jr Master Film Handler Posts: 435 From: Woodbridge, New Jersey Registered: Apr 2000 posted 01-12-2014 06:22 AM                        AMC (Clearview) Headquarters in Morristown till the end of Jan 2014  |  IP: Logged Jason McMillan Film Handler Posts: 68 From: Houston, TX, USA Registered: Dec 2009 posted 01-13-2014 04:35 PM                     Looks like I may have jumped the gun on my earlier post.. I'm being told that Tristate may have done a digital upgrade at North Oaks 6. I would assume (but have nothing to back it up) that he'll also find a way to upgrade Windchimes.  |  IP: Logged Jonathan Goeldner Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1360 From: Washington, District of Columbia Registered: Jun 2008 posted 01-13-2014 07:37 PM                     AMC Shirlington (Arlington Virginia) all seven screens. Kentland's Stadium 10 (Gaithersburg, MD) nine of the ten screens are 35mm only.  |  IP: Logged Dave Fleegel Film Handler Posts: 4 From: Medford, WI,United States Registered: Feb 2012 posted 01-13-2014 07:42 PM                        Broadway Theatre in Medford, WI 5 Screens all VIP PRO 35's Cinema North Phillips, WI 1 Screen Park Theatre Park Falls, WI 1 screen The Stanley Theatre Stanley, WI 1 screen Tomahawk Theater Tomahawk, WI 1 screen  |  IP: Logged Lindsay Morris Expert Film Handler Posts: 233 From: Darlington, WA, Australia Registered: Sep 2002 posted 01-16-2014 06:47 PM                     Kookaburra Outdoor Cinema Western Australia is still running what is left of 35mm supplies until season end mid April. Stuff is getting harder to source but pretty much have enough booked to see the season out. Then sit down and carefully consider to either convert OR Close for ever. Might be time to retire after running the venue for the past 18 years.  |  IP: Logged Mark Campbell Expert Film Handler Posts: 148 From: Seattle, WA USA Registered: Jul 2007 posted 01-20-2014 01:45 PM                     Kirkland Parkplace Cinema 6 Kirkland, WA 6 screens  |  IP: Logged
