Perhaps they will put a Subway there instead so you can stay on your diet.

I hate Subway.

From the Sentinel this morning:

Sentinel

"Kuhn said a long-delayed multiplex theater at the heart of the project might not open now, though it essentially is complete except for seating and interior finishing work. Last November, AMC Theatres said it had agreed to operate the 12-screen complex and expected to be showing movies in early 2008. Kuhn, who had been leasing the theater space from California-based RP Partners Inc., said Thursday that RP "has taken the position" that the theater will not be completed."

Sh*t.

AMC's agreement is just to manage whatever theater eventually gets built.

It's basically a case of, "Call us when the theater is ready to go and the City has cut the first years subsidy check.".

This might be a silly question. If AMC is not paying for construction and Kuhn is out of the picture then who exactly is managing/paying for the finishing of the theatre? I saw some movement and banging around up there the other day which got my hopes up. Oh, and where exactly is the Publix supposed to be located in DT?

indy flicks at an AMC?

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull - May 22nd

All of AMC's new projects are completely digital projection. Wonder if these would be the same? I'm thinking the equipment would be more difficult to harvest considering the cost difference.

I've heard that AMC is not paying for the cost of any equipment so I hope they have enough money to make the memorial day opening a priority. I guess what I'm saying is I'm tired of dates being cyclically announced and not met by anything other than subsequent opening dates.

The guy at the auction told me that the movie theater is set to open memorial day...anyone else hear this? He said that he has been in there and that buildout continues in the nighttime. He also said that tenants such as Coldstone and NYPD Pizza are waiting to open until the theater opens. Anyone else have any thoughts on this?

I've heard from several of the businesses the same thing. Memorial Day. I also asked some of the area administrators from AMC and they concur but they all seem a little skeptical about it. AMC puts grand openings on it's site usually two months prior to opening so maybe we'll hear something official soon.

If you look behind the plywood barrier there seems like a pretty good amount of work to be done structurally (windows, cabinets, painting, etc.) Which I think think they shouldn't have a problem getting done but I never see anyone working on it? Not to mention all the signage and projectors need to be installed, sound systems, etc. They have their work cut out for them. I sure would like the chance to see Indiana Jones here though.
