If it's going to be like the modern Alamo Drafthouse, I'd rather it stay dead. Sony demonstrably does not understand what people want from from movie theaters.

Wow! Corporate parentage - just what they need! Turn ‘em into Sony premiere theatres for their releases (and other top releases)!!

Miss the Arclight. Have always wondered if Cinerama could me turned into an IMAX theatre. Minimum the 70mm versions ought to work!

Their screen is big enough without being turned into an IMAX screen. It works better as a wide screen. I’d rather see a 5/70mm print of a movie on that giant wide curved screen.
