Author Topic: The Landmark Loew's Jersey Theater Joseph Palladino Film Handler Posts: 16 From: new Egypt, N.J. USA Registered: Feb 2007 posted 05-12-2010 12:24 PM                     This movie palace is still open. I worked this theater in the late 70's. It was still a single theater with over 3000 seats, they made into a triplex by adding two theaters under the balcony, what a mess. It's now been restored somewhat and they running select films. and concerts. And believe or not a Geico commerical was filmed in the lobby. Check out website and upcoming movies.

Do you still live near the Theatre? I was there in February to see 'The Third Man', also heard the organ played that weekend. I was previously last there in May 2008, but the organ was not in use that weekend. The've now got the DP-70s up to the box, though not yet in use, so we might see a 70mm show there in the not too distant future. There are also quite a few live shows there these days. There are others here who work at the Theatre, and will know better than I do what's going on there.  |  IP: Logged Mitchell Dvoskin Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1869 From: West Milford, NJ, USA Registered: Jan 2001 posted 05-12-2010 01:07 PM                     I am the senior (by age anyway) volunteer projectionist for the Landmark Loews Jersey project, and I generally project the Friday movie shows. Were still running carbon arc! If you stop by during one of the Friday shows, I would be glad to take you up to the booth. Robert Minichino, who is also on this forum, is our chief technician and a member of the Friends Of The Loews board. I tend to post our movie shows in the "film yak" sub forum in the "Finding Classics On The Big Screen" thread.  |  IP: Logged Joseph Palladino Film Handler Posts: 16 From: new Egypt, N.J.

I still work in Jersey City at Liberty Science Center which is about 10-15mins from theater. A friend of mine told they were putting in 70mm projectors.

I was going to take a look at the place once, but there were queues to get in, and I didn't have the time.  |  IP: Logged Joseph Palladino Film Handler Posts: 16 From: new Egypt, N.J.
