MasterDodsen Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 That's really fucking pathetic. Its called the American Multi-Cinemas Corporation. Well... looks like I'll remain a Regal Entertainment perosn. Which sucks because Seattle's best IMAX screen is in SouthCenter mall and is an AMC. Ugh!

I don't think Wanda group is going to change anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baumer Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 The scariest thing about the article is that AMC was 2 billion in debt. How does that happen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baumer Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Wrong in investments ?Sure, but when you think of AMC theater chain, you think movies, not hedge funds and IPO's and stocks. It just looks funny to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Webslinger Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Which sucks because Seattle's best IMAX screen is in SouthCenter mall and is an AMC. Ugh!Nope, Pacific Science Center all the way. You do have to deal with huge crowds (the Batman Begins portion of the Batman double feature they ran in fall 2008 is the only time I've been there when less than 90% of the auditorium was full) and kids who seem too young to be attending the movie in question (the under-10 set roaming the place during the sold-out fourth weekend screening of the fifth Harry Potter movie I went to springs to mind), but the screen is massive, the sound quality is unbeatable, and at least as far as I can recall, the concessions prices were significantly lower than you'd pay at any of the chain theatres in town.But, not being a true Seattleite (just someone who visits frequently), I digress. The only AMC I've been to in that area is the Loews Alderwood in Lynwood, which is a decent enough place to see a movie. The theatre I prefer to go to, though, is Lincoln Square Cinemas in Bellevue. If you don't mind the hike in price (and I believe matinee admission cuts off at 2:00 on weekends), it's a kick-ass place to see a movie: spacious auditoriums, classy design, leather seats, and no "First Look" show before the movie. And even though they get more business now than they did in their first year of operation (I remember seeing Dead Man's Chest in a half-full auditorium during its record opening weekend), it's still possible to show up 20 minutes before a matinee show of even the largest blockbuster and have little trouble getting tickets (as I did with Harry Potter last summer on its opening Saturday). But their IMAX, while one of the more impressive IMAX-in-name-only auditoriums I've seen, still pales in comparison to the real thing.
