(Pretty much a STOOPID move on their part.Regal Cinemas – the second largest movie theater chain in the United States – is temporarily closing all theaters Thursday due to major financial losses triggered by the coronavirus pandemic. United Artists Theatres apparently decided to let Ron go. The last thing I heard (probably sometime in the late 90’s), I wasn’t there on these stories about the theatre going into “decline”, but I can guess that when that happened, Ron wasn’t there either. I was in “the biz” for several years & in regards to all the jobs/thetres I worked at, Ron was probably the best theatre manager Not to “kiss ass” here, but somebody mentioned Ron Angeli. “The Dinky Houses”) were still being worked on - we didn’t open those 2 until either December or January. Only 9 of its 11 screens/houses were ready - theatres 8 & 9 Meaning: we played it originally in 7 & ended up moving itįor the record - when The Riverview finally opened up in Nov.
Turns out that one was the last 70mm feature I ever ran. (Case in point - you mentioned “Gettysburg”. That’s a story in itself, but for another time.) Basically, in theory - say we ran something in theatre 7Īnd it turned out to be a stiff at the box office, we could move it (Both were originally supposed to haveĪn early digital stereo system called Cinema Digital Sound, but the company(s) who created it cancelled “the project” about a week or 2īefore the Riverview opened up. To “ediemer” - you asked about what the theatre had in regards to 70mm.Īt the time, Theatres 6 (one of the mid-size houses) & 7 (The Large House) had Century 70/35 film projectors, and both had DolbyĬP65 processors for the sound. Sometime in 1994), and I’m gonna answer a question, as well as mentioning a somewhat “important” point “trivia / history-wise”. Hiya! My name’s Jim Perry & I’m the original chief film projectionistįor the Riverview multiplex (from it’s opening in Nov. It was announced in November 2020 that the closure would be permanent. It was closed on Madue to the Covid-19 pandemic. Many Philadelphians attend movies earlier in the day to avoid the noisy crowds, or avoid the Riverview altogether. The Riverview’s crowds are often noisy in the auditoriums during the movies. Its popularity contributed to the demise of downtown (Center City) Philadelphia’s mainstream moviehouses, none of which had more than four screens. JKRoller Architects of Philadelphia, PA designed the Riverview, and the increase from 11 to 17 screens.įrom its opening, the Riverview has been very popular. All auditoriums have excellent digital surround sound. Upstairs auditorium # 4 has about 175 seats and a not very large screen that I estimated at 25 feet wide. Upstairs, there are some huge screens including auditorium # 2 which has 380 seats and a screen that I estimated at 50 feet wide for a ‘scope film. The stadium seating of the main floor auditoriums made some of them appear awkward in scale.
On August 28, 1998, a second floor was added with six more auditoriums, and all of the auditoriums in the theatre were stadium seated. The Riverview opened on Novemwith 11 auditoriums on one floor, and a total of 3,600 seats. Advertisements state “Free Lighted Parking”. Though advertised in major newspapers movie clocks as “Center City” (downtown Philadelphia) the Riverview is in South Philadelphia in a shopping center near the Delaware River at Exit 20 off I-95.
