Author Topic: Currently operating Ex-GCC locations.... Connor Wilson Expert Film Handler Posts: 190 From: Sterling, VA, USA Registered: Jan 2011 posted 12-11-2015 07:40 PM                     The theater at the Mazza Gallerie in Washington D.C. was one of the last GCC builds from 2000. It's still THX-certified. I went there once four years ago to see The Muppets (in screen four) and I was surprised that it was still running 35mm. The print was almost spotless, but the dumb projectionist showed the tail of the film pass-through the projector. Supposedly, it upgraded to 100% digital by Fall 2012. And the AMC Essex Orange was once a GCC. I saw Dawn of the Planet of the Apes on their big screen (formerly THX before the switch to Dine-In) and it held up very well, but I prefer eating at Alamo over AMC Dine-In. AMC Bay Plaza Cinema 13 was initially a mid-90s GCC. Spoiler Alert - Click to Toggle It's not very good.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-13-2015 05:26 PM                     quote: Aaron Garman AMC Yorktown 18, Lombard, IL Note that the original Yorktown was a Twin, that was chopped up and added to to make either six or eight screens... I can't remember. Then the whole kit and caboodle was demolished for the present 18 screener. Mark  |  IP: Logged Mark Ogden Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 943 From: Little Falls, N.J.

The original Essex Green 3, which had the typical GCC set-up with the shadow box screen and the ass-deadening red vinyl seats, was across the parking lot and has been since demolished. The AMC Bridgewater Common 7 is a still operating GCC site from the seventies, but has been extensively remodeled.  |  IP: Logged Jack Ondracek Film God Posts: 2348 From: Port Orchard, WA, USA Registered: Oct 2002 posted 12-13-2015 09:16 PM                        quote: Eric Hooper I am mainly looking for locations that might not have been "reclinered" or remodeled yet, that still have their GCC feel on some level... Silverdale(WA) was originally a GCC-6. The two larger auditoriums were split... not sure if by GCC or AMC. Incidentally... AMC is about to get a little less competition in Silverdale. Next door, and a bit older, is Regal's "Silverdale Cinemas" (a Tom Moyer-built quad). Regal has sold the theatre to a church.  |  IP: Logged Eric Hooper Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 532 From: Fort Worth, TX, USA Registered: May 2003 posted 12-13-2015 10:44 PM                     The AMC (GCC) Silverdale has unfortunately been "reclinered" now also....  |  IP: Logged Arthur Allen Film Handler Posts: 99 From: Renton, WA, USA Registered: Aug 2001 posted 12-18-2015 10:54 AM                        To add to the Seattle area GCCs: the former Renton Village Cinema is still open at the Roxy Cinema. This 1989 eight-plex now specializes in Indian movies.  |  IP: Logged Eric Hooper Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 532 From: Fort Worth, TX, USA Registered: May 2003 posted 02-22-2016 10:57 PM                     Mckinley 6 Theatres - Buffalo, NY Elvis Cinemas (formerly Kipling Place) - Littleton, CO  |  IP: Logged Jason Whyte Expert Film Handler Posts: 132 From: Victoria, BC, Canada Registered: Sep 2002 posted 02-25-2016 01:19 PM                        In Austin, TX, the Galaxy Highland is still up and strong, and that was a former GCC location. The theater went through a full stadium conversion sometime in the 00's, however. But a lot of old GCC stylings and poster case mylars are still there.  |  IP: Logged System Notices Forum Watchdog / Soup Nazi Posts: 215 Registered: Apr 2004 posted 12-05-2019 04:44 PM                 It has been 1379 days since the last post.  |  IP: Logged Mark Campbell Expert Film Handler Posts: 148 From: Seattle, WA USA Registered: Jul 2007 posted 12-05-2019 04:44 PM                     AMC Classic Gateway 8 in Federal Way, WA has no showtimes listed after today.
