This explore was a fun one, going to a movie theater has such a nostalgic feeling. Make sure to stay til the end to see the awesome projectors left behind ! Also, When's the last time you went to the movies? and what was the film?
Dead Silence back in 2007. I remember I didn't like direction that horror films were going at the time which is one of the reasons why I've stopped going to the theaters.
Hi Dark Explorations! The last time I went to a movie theater was either 2004 or 03. There was a widow I worked with at the x.she had every Wend off if I was off we would go to this huge mall in south Florida. We shop eat & then watch a movie.i now live East TN & I no longer work because I'm on disability due to my illness.i want to say the movie we saw we didn't want to but it was the only chose we had was I think the name was boogie man with the guy from Seventh HEAVEN . I remember in the 1980s in my birth state of Vermont there was still drive in theater.my brother would take my sister & me.i remember watching Rambo & Crocodile Dundee.My 1st ever movie in a theater was the movie with the black man singing blue bird on my shoulder. I'm no longer into going into a crowd even before the covid.people are nasty & rude. I walk with a cane & people would push me. I prefer going for rides & exploring new places .as a child I grew up on a dairy farm & my dad would make time to go for rides.we would sometimes pick up my grandfather & go. If we asked where were going he would tell us where the car takes us.sometimes we would find ourselves in NH in some place with nothing but fields & 1 weird place to eat.my dad loved spending time with us & making memories. afterwards before going home( always we had to be home by 4 to take care/milk the cows) we would get ice cream.thank u for helping me remember the good x's. I hope u have a great day as well & stay safe 🙂😊🏚📽🎞🎬
Not sure! Stadium seating 1990-2010+ (Lounge seating started after 2015). Many popcorn blockbuster movies in 1990-2005 with James Cameron Terminator 2 to Titanic or Batman last 3 or all 4 of 4, Forest Gump, etc (like he mentioned in video where George Lucas' Revenge Of The Sith was summer 2005 Star Wars final Prequels show)!
I know i was just about to say surprised they werent stripped down, those signs are vintage by now. Unique and original items like these are no longer made unless probably commissioned or something.
But before that "there's a single light coming from the projection room, we're gonna have to walk up there" Yes we're going to HAVE to check out something potentially sketchy... this is why white people get fucked up in horror movies so much lmao
@@manlymcstud8588 its a blueprint not hieroglyphics.... people are pretty pathetic and helpless if they can't read what is essentially a map of a building lol
I feel like people need to buy these properties and restore them in a way and salvage as much history as they can. That would be dope. Open them up again.
@Merraine there was a bank in Pasadena (Texas) that was like a landmark for Pasadena. It was a massive building and had beautiful architecture and an incredible interior, a piece of history for us and it’s been abandoned for years and years due to a health concern I forgot what exactly it was I think they used a material to build it that was found out to cause cancer. But anyway many many people wanted it restored because it was definitly doable but ultimately about 2 years ago it was demolished.
That would be awesome to do that, before the place deteriorates too much further! Problem is that thanks to the lockdowns, people have gotten so used to just streaming movies and watching them at home. So who knows if there will ever be as much need for these multiplex cinemas. Tragic but true, at least somewhat.
I would totally go to a restored vintage '90s movie theater like this, it would be cool if they had at least one room dedicated to playing movies from that time period while obviously having the rest playing the usual modern new releases.
And then once he noticed you were there, he walked up to you and said, I feel I have had a hair caught between my eyes and my glasses. I couldn’t get rid of it through the whole movie, I have been picking at it the whole day. As he is now face to face with you you look closer and realize it was no hair, it was a tick stuck to his eyeball! Enjoy the rest of the show!
I get kinda sad when I see things like this...theaters, malls, stores, etc. Reminds me of another time when I was young hanging out with friends, going out on dates to the movies and shopping for things. Sigh, so many places, so many memories, gone. Sad 😢
@@oddfuture7916 I miss the little things. I remember Friday night's were blockbuster movie and pizza nights. My kids would get all excited when we got there and they would each scramble to pick 1 movie, 1 romcom for the the Mrs, and 1 action/adventure or horror movie 4 me. Man, id give anything to go back to those days. 😓
@@johnrodriguez5277 I'm right there with you John some days I sit back and cry I'm an 80's baby and the 90's was the absolute best and the music don't get me started with that one I tell you times have gone 2 shit if you ask me all we have is memories
This is sad. Being a little kid walking into the movie theater was so special. All of the lights, popcorn, and movie posters. Just an unforgettable experience from my childhood.
Facts I hate ppl that say ughh I got a 60 inch TV and a fucking surround sound. Compare 60 inches to a giant fucking wall of a screen. They sound stupid asf. Avatar wouldn’t be Avatar without the theatre experience. Same with the avengers and all big movies. No theaters means no more big budget movies
I used to work as a projectionist, the reason they don’t have little rooms for the projectors would be because movies start within 5 mins of each other and it was very manual before digital projection so you would literally be running from one projector to the next manually starting movies or rewinding movies which has ended! I’ve also used the Christie projector model too! Brings back memories!!
@@shawnaburns5158 speakers are along the walls in the cinema and they connect up to a Dolby digital sound system which usually sits beside the projector in the projection room. Along one side of the 35mm film is the audio for the movie, a laser inside the projector reads the audio and converts it through the digital sound system and then to the speakers
@@shawnaburns5158 yep! If you look on the walls of the movie theatres, there are usually curtains or folded fabric along the walls and the cables for the speakers usually run behind those from the projection room
Its been closed about a year now. Also in the same lot there are open stores and a taco bell. So its not as empty as it looks there. Cops are always driving around too.
California only has a few abandoned Drive-Ins left hopefully everyone'll take advantage of the current situation and give them the love they deserve Yes I know its about Covid and its safer its just funny to me its called a joke ya'll LOL
I love what you guys do, man.. you show off these places without all the clickbait and trap music and exaggeration, it’s just pure raw exploration and appreciation of these old abandoned places
The one thing I love about abandoned exploring is the quietness. Nothing is as real as a place that was once loud, now completely eerily silent. I started this years ago with the intentions of keeping it real and raw. I'm glad I could reach so many homes and entertain. Always more coming guys 🖤
You keep saying "gross" yet that place looks pretty damn clean for having been abandoned for a while. . A piece of popped corn and 3 gummy worms is not "gross".
I agree. I've worked at a theater and this theater being abandoned for 13 years is cleaner than after 1 showing of Avengers at 7pm on a Saturday night.
It wasn't. I know where this is. It closed in March because of covid and the operator just went in and ripped the equipment out a few weeks ago and ended the lease.
Greenburgh Multiplex Theater, Elmsford NY, closed in 2019. For some reason, that tour was really fun, kind of sad and a little spooky. Also, the theater opened in 1999. So, sadly, it only lasted 20 years.
Yes, thank you for the info, was also wondering what it was called & where it was at. Now-a-days, a 20 year run for a such a business is not too surprising, particularly with movie theaters closing left & right.
Theatres took a big hit with COVID. The Regal near me has been closed for months. Though I don't know if I'd go back since it also had cloth seats. Ugh. They always smelled musty.
I work as the after hours maintenance guy at a theater built back in the mid 80’s. The problem isn’t so much that it doesn’t get cleaned. Movie theaters are a low margin business and they can be pretty stingy with hours and wages. I only get four hours a night to clean and set up the entire place for the next day all by myself so you really have to rush, and if there’s something broken you have to fix then you’re in an even bigger hurry. Add to that all the people who are really nasty and throw and spill stuff all over the place but also sometimes do insane things like smear human waste on the walls or mirrors in the restrooms and you get an idea of what a challenge it can be. It’s pretty demoralizing trying to accomplish as much as you can in a large area like that in such a short amount of time. I have an assistant that works with me on weekends and you wouldn’t believe the number of them that just quit on me and walk out in the first hour. As far as when theaters are going to reopen, your guess is as good as mine. I’ve been laid off since 19 March and the main reason besides the pandemic that we haven’t reopened is that there is nothing to show. The few new movies that are out there either keep getting their release dates pushed back or the studios just throw up their hands and put them online to stream. At this point I’m not sure we’ll ever reopen again if we don’t do it by this fall.
Can 100% confirm people loved smearing poop on the walls in the restrooms. No idea why this happened *often* at my theater lol kids puking a ton (1 gallon of slurpie/soda + a gallon of popcorn in a stomach the size of a softball = vomit city) was also extremely common
Satoshi9801 Eh, it is what it is. I’m retired and do this job for a little extra money. I don’t mind working hard and I enjoy routine, plus it’s one of the few jobs where I can work alone without anyone bothering me and it’s quiet. Manager is pretty good to me as well, so that doesn’t suck.
@@steveb123vlog There are a lot of mentally ill people out there that society just ignores and allows to continue with their behaviors. If they were caught very little would happen and they would then be out and around doing it again. The issue is not just confined to cinemas. Right now there are rioters in many cities that could go up and shoot somebody and nothing would happen to the perp as DA's would not prosecute declined
This was the closest theater to my house. Had so many memories here. Just insane to see it abandoned. It closed in 2019, but still had that retro feel.
I know streaming services have been booming like crazy in the past few years, especially during this COVID shit, but we should never let movie theaters die. Watching a movie on a small TV screen at home is nothing compared to seeing it on the big screen for the first time. Movie theaters are an experience, and I really, REALLY hope they start getting popular again.
@@Flubbler06 and he is wrong...it closed down May 30, 2019. I dk where he is getting that 2006 number. I am hope he is just mistaken and misinformed and not purposefully misinforming his viewers by making the building that it was abandoned longer then it has been
In my area, Rochester NY there was this theater called Cine 8 that shut down in 1998. For a long time it just sat there to rot. You could even see these promotion stickers for Mulan pealing off the front windows. I so...wish I had explored it before it got demolished.
I was born in ‘85. This definitely brings back memories!! That color scheme alone takes me back!! What I wouldn’t give to go back to that time period again!!!
Yep I was thinking the exact same when I saw this. I mean damn the 90's wasn't that long ago 😂 Now if he was exploring a theater from the 60's or 70's that would be something
Yeah our local classic rock station here is starting to play 90s music I listened to growing up. That's when I first started feeling like I was getting old.
I loved this! I worked in a theater for 7 years & ran it for 3. It was similar to this one being that its also outdated. I’m familiar with a lot of the old equipment & machinery u walked past. Y’all definitely brought back some good memories with this one. ❤️👏🏾
kristine elizabeth It’s still in business! It’s apart of the Regal chain of theaters. That company has no interest whatsoever in investing their profits into upgrading their older theaters sadly. So they’re left looking like this one, only still operating. Old equipment, outdated & uncontrollable seats... the whole 9 yards. Lol. The projectors will be the only upgrade you’ll find in the older cinemas.
@@TamJ1 The old theater that I used to frequent during the high school days smelled horribly. Don't get me wrong, those were some nostalgic memories. My first movie at the theaters was Sweet Home Alabama lol. I remembered the place reeked of stale buttery popcorn, soda-stained carpets, squeaky seats and sticky floors. If that movie theater you worked for doesn't want to invest in some upgrades, I can only hope they can survive this pandemic.
kristine elizabeth Agreed! Definitely some great memories, but I don’t see them bouncing back from this. Business was already slow before the pandemic. Glad I got my best years out of that place & some experience under my belt.
So this cinema is in Elmsford, NY?? It is a National Amusements/Redstone Cinema. That special red and blue patterned schell carpet was in most National Amusement/Redstone Cinemas. I would suspect it was custom made just for them as one identity (chain) has their own special carpet. By the way Sumner Redstone just died a month ago. He was 97..
No way that thing has been closed for 15 years, I'd guess maybe a year. ******EDIT: Does anybody know how I mute notifications for this comment/thread? Starting to irritate me a little!!*****
@@katrina7679 I'd say it has been closed for at least six years since it wasn't converted to digital projectors. The last of the film projectors in movie theaters went out around 2014.
@@CLR2TKF I point to the trash again because of the logo on the deer park bottle. That new logo came out in 2016. Also that Pepsi cup/logo was reintroduced around 2018. The restaurant I used to work at had them
@@dcan911 You are right it closed May 30, 2019. It was the greenburgh multiplex theater. It is actually getting tore down and a ShopRite grocery store is taking it's place.
FYI this is the Greenburgh movie cinema in elmsford NY I know since I went to it my entire childhood into my adulthood and it closed May 30th 2019 not in 2006 idk where he got his info from but just thought I’d correct it for anyone interested
The projectors definitely should have been taken or auctioned by the company. Those are worth a *ton*. That window you looked it had the piping for it in the ceiling (many made so much heat that they are cooled from outside on the roof). Worked at one for 10 years and the old non digital projectors made so much heat it was insane. Can 100% confirm that was butter/oil on that floor and that NEVER comes off. We mopped, bleached, de-greased that every night and it never leaves that tile. Literally fuses with the tile for eternity. You basically just slid when you worked back there like you were on ice. Insane seeing the exact same popcorn popper my theater had still there. This makes me equal parts nostalgic and sad knowing Covid will probably kill the last theaters.
Tom cat my whole state has this “attitude” you say I have and we are one of the best in covid so please explain I know dozens of people who have had it NONE have died and we’re barely sick they were fine after 2 days

Just imagine people going to see Men In Black, Independence Day, Jurassic Park, Godzilla (1998), Con Air, G.I. Jane, Forrest Gump, Space Jam, Mission: Impossible, Titanic, The Matrix, Shawshank Redemption, Seven, Blade, Spawn, Austin Powers, Jurassic Park: The Lost World, Die Hard and other 90s classics here!
@@brandoncastro2441 really? I was saying the whole time that those computers aren't old meaning it shut down more recently... where is this located like state wise? Our old movie theaters got turned into Chinese buffets hahaha
@@nmstranger thanks for the knowledge! Sucks being torn down it didn't look like it was in that bad of shape, I never make videos of the abandoned places I go, usually once the video goes popular they get torn down the one by my house I've been going to since a kid got torn down cuz a UA-camr made it famous... But at the same time I kind of like watching the videos because hey I know I was never getting to that place so I'm glad someone did!
The title and description are false, the theater was built in the late 90s and it didn’t closed down in 2006, it closed down in 2019. The Theater is called “Greenburgh Multiplex Cinemas Elmsford NY” *Update: This dude literally changed his description from 2006 to 2019. I guess he didn’t want nobody to notice.*
Also they found a blood smite going upstairs where private meetings can happy and rich criminals do own beautiful legal everyday business like my beautiful favorite store Walgreens for example. Blood doesn’t just get there and if the place was to remain nice but there’s obviously random broken shit then stuff obviously happens. Blood looks dry but fresh. Also what’s up there that could cut so deeply or what happened to have blood on the wall 🩸 and for illegal business reasons nothing would be brought and left.
If I ever explore to an abandoned movie theater one day, I'll go to the recording room and load the THX logo with the volume way high up, then quickly sit back in the theater and become deaf
BRUH how can he say he'd never go to a theater again because they are gross and have diseases while snooping in a dirty ABANDONED theater, touching e everything in sight! Incredible
It's been some twenty years now and can still smell the freshly popcorn 🍿. The seats had not sat in,the projectors hadn't been used, Cinema 🎥 Max was the theater of dreams and it was it really was.
Didn't see the speakers, but the projectors appear to be "film". About as useful as a betamax vcr these days. It does look like a couple of projectors had been removed.
Russell Hltn speakers are all along the walls of the theater rooms. Yeah didn’t see the front stage speakers in the video. Agreed those projectors are now vintage but so cool and still very expensive to just be sitting there!
Used to be a projectionist. It looks like not all the projectors are there. Seems like they sold the few that they could to other theaters and left the ones that needed work. They wouldn't be worth anything now since most theaters have all digital projectors but from the looks of the place, they went under far before the mass switch over to digital in the late 2000s so they definitely could've made some money from their ones in decent shape. Also I noticed their film pans are gone which are big metal pans that would sit next to the projectors and distribute/collect the film as it went through the projector. At the very least those could've been sold for scrap.
I went to this movie theatre a lot during the late 90's when it was new, through the 2000's. A few more theatres were built in the area after this one was built, making it seem outdated quite quickly. It was built around the late 90's, but was abandoned only a couple of years ago, around 2018 - not 2006 like the description says. That's why it looks rather clean (for an abandoned building). The town it's in recently approved plans to demolish and build a supermarket in it's place, which probably explains why the blueprints are there.
Ngl, I would be tempted to snag one of the silver screens for myself because they cost quite a bit and I imagine they would be throwing them away anyway.
@@ElderDoge i would of came around with a truck later and grabbed all those speakers from all the theater rooms and srll them, maybe keep some in my basement for movie night
I love the production logos (Paramount, Columbia Pictures, Warner Bros, etc) on the walls. That's neat! Now THAT'S how a movie theater lobby should look like.
@@timwalker8776 eh, I wouldn't say that. The one on Independence is way smaller than that one. At one point the floors were black and white tiles, the walls were purple, and had massive murals of old hollywood celebrities. This theater reminds me more of the one in Pineville that was AMC, only because of size and the trees surrounding it, except most of the seats at least reclined and the theme was red. 😁
@@klackey224 Fantastic! Thanks for the update- would you remind me where Pineville is- down South Blvd- I would go to Manifest Discs and then drive 5 or so miles south to the huge multiplex! There was also a branch of Repo Records on South Blvd at one time! Again, thanks for stirring my memories!
this comment needs to go to the top so everyone knows how misleading his videos are. That's why the Power was on because he filmed shortly after it closed down in 2019.
That would explain why there were still projectors in the upper hall with lenses intact. Those lenses are worth THOUSANDS. Back in the early 00's I was about to go into a lease to restore a theater from the late 80's that closed in 2000. Landlord took me up to the projection hall to "impress" me with all the projectors still in place. I walked up to each one and said "Well, these are nice, but they're worthless without the lenses." I declined to pick up the lease. Turned out the former owner helped himself to the lenses when he walked out on the lease.
And in 2005, the most iconic animated movies playing before they went out of business were corpse bride, Madagascar, robots, and everyone’s favorite Disney movie, chicken little. Not a great year.
could you imagine walking into one of those dark abandoned movie theatre rooms with the light and some dude is way in the back corner like “hey ! turn that light off i’m enjoying the show !”
The fear can end when the threat has ended. That hasn’t happened yet so fear is pretty important. Once we have a vaccine (which is looking promising tbh), then we can “live our lives”. If you’re young and healthy, staying safe isn’t for your benefit - it’s to keep everyone else disease free. The elderly/those more at risk aren’t the ones spreading the disease - it’s us. Don’t worry, this will all be over soon. The sooner we all wear masks and social distance, the sooner it’ll be over. It’s as simple as that
@@jamie.goodson it's literally a cold, it doesn't need a vaccine, it's not a disease, cancer is a disease, the fear is absolutely ridiculous and I play no part in it
@@beckynik-nik721 My housemate is a covid nurse here in London, working in the ICU (intensive care unit). On occasion she comes back home in tears having cared for so many people who have lost their lives to the virus. Once she had to hold the phone up for an old man (as he was too weak to hold it himself) while the family facetimed him to say their last goodbyes. They weren't allowed to come into the hospital room. Thankfully the death toll has been steadily declining here in the UK (everyone here wears masks on public transport and in shops etc). I know you're scared and this is obviously a hard time for everyone, and it's easier for us to just think of covid as a simple cold. But unfortunately we have to face reality. As long as you wear masks and social distance then you've got absolutely nothing to worry about, you'll be fine :)
This theater was demolished in January 2021. A new Shop Rite is now being built on the land. This was the Greenburgh Multiplex Cinemas. It opened in 1999 and closed on May 30th 2019. FUN FACT there was another Multiplex Cinemas about 2 miles down the road from this one which was demolished in 2016. It was the same size as Greenburgh with 10 theaters but a lot older. Very odd having two massive theaters on the same road. Both theaters had the same owner. Hard the believe there both gone now
Yeah I had placed this as VERY late 90s or early 00s, thanks for confirming. It was the stadium seating that gave it away, they didn't start doing that until the late 90s.
“I probably won’t be visiting many movie theaters anymore because they are filled with germs” Also- “hey here this asbestos filled, black mold having abandoned building, let’s take a look around!”
When I worked at this movie theater a set of lights called the "cleaning lights" replaced the normals lights and illuminated the theatres in this very creepy subdued light. It was ghostly and the silence was unnerving.
Gives me such a huge feeling of Nostalgia for a place I’ve never even been. And I learned that, at least in this theater, all the projectors are in a hallway and could be controlled at the same time. How cool is that! Subscribed
Heh you thought I was paying for that. Popcorn hits different different though that's the only thing I'll buy and a drink every once in a while. Candy? You know my pockets and oversized coat filled with skittles, starbursts, and sweet tarts
@@thisisahumanlol8255is that what causes this feeling? I get that same feeling with those older indoor pools. I’m truly uncomfortable just watching him in there 😂
Everyone is taking about how nostalgic this makes them feel. Makes me feel so old that I remember when movie theaters didn't have stadium seating and had curtains that would rise before the trailers/movie would start. Nice video though. I hope to return to the theater once this virus is shut down. There's just something about seeing a movie on the big screen with an audience. (Of course one with out people on their cellphones. )
Yuup... some movies are just meant to be seen or experianced in a huge presentation and atmosphere setting while being shared with others you know and don't know alike! 🤤😢
We are unfortunately moving towards a way more isolated lifestyle as humans. I agree , movies should be displaced with a huge crowd as everything in the room experiences the same emotions. I love theaters but the way things are right now, I really cant see myself going back
@@DarkExploration If this is our new life forever. I will probably never have a child. What's the point if there childhood would be very shitty with no school, no friends, no social life, being on the computer 24/7.Whats the point.....
@@lkjhb1 I agree with you. Humans are social beings and every ounce of that is being taken from us. Its reverse evolution. I cant even fathom how life will be a century from now.

Earth is too good for us humans and we take it for granted clearly. I could talk all day about it. But I'll sum it up there. thanks for coming to my Ted talk😂
We still have some open, with limited seating, in our area. We went last night and watched "Sonic the Hedgehog." Not a new flick, but still fun to get out.
*This may be more Historical than you know. Movie theaters may never come back due to this Corona Virus. The talk is, that indoor theaters are a thing of the past that makes your video more historical than you might have expected.*
I doubt coronavirus will take out theaters 🎥 . Eventually a cure or inoculations will come out & be given to the masses. Eventually things will go back in time. People in the 50s put bomb shelters in their backyard and that was the norm.
Another thing destroyed by the Internet. More job's going and a lot more. Each shopping mall that close and place like this. No body thinks about who out of work next time they download or buy something of the Internet.
I used to be a manager at a movie theatre not too different from this one. It had 9 screens and one main lobby/concession area. This brings so much nostalgia back for me. And yes projection 'rooms' are actually just big long hallways, generally. This makes it a lot easier for a projectionist to work and monitor each screen. The main office is where the managers would monitor staff/the lobby through the cameras, count money and open/close out tills. Our theatre had two big safes. We had to balance the $14,000 cash safe every night before leaving. It couldn't be off by even a cent, we had to make sure it was exactly $14,000. On busy nights you'll do lifts from tills so you'll take their cash and leave their floats (about $200) so that they aren't holding onto too much cash. It was a very bustling type of work. There's coin and paper money counters, similar to what banks use. Movie theatres, especially 90s and early 00s still went through a ton of cash so handling a lot of it was part of manager and supervisor jobs. My theatre also used head sets to communicate. So a manager and a supervisor would have one, multiple concession staff would have one, a projectionist would have one. Any time something was needed or something went wrong: You'd hear it on the ear piece. The theatre you walked into that had lights, where you said it's how it is right before showing: those are actually the cleaning lights. House lights/Tivoli lights (The little ones along the floor to guide you during the movie) are what they use for pre-show for people to be seated, and after the show. The concession area will forever be greasy, doesn't matter how often they mop. I had shoes that I called my butter shoes because they forever were greasy. And a pair of dress pants that were also my butter pants. (I often helped in concession when it was busy) The projectors being left is crazy because they look like they're digital so they would be expensive. Although looks like they had swapped from film maybe recently before closing because i see some of the plate stands still there. The theatre I worked at only had 2 digital projectors and otherwise was still using film when I was working there. That was a piece of history that I feel really nostalgic for. There no other type of panic you feel when a plate stops spinning properly. We once had to have a projectionist sit there and manually spin the plate to allow the film continue playing for the rest of the movie. He was a good kid!! I told him we could cancel the film and he said he would just do it. I've never been big on going to the movies (Though I do miss it now because of Covid restrictions) but I loved working at one. The behind the scenes was really fun. I can still remember all the smells. This was such a cool video to stumble onto. Thanks for sharing! It's sad to see it left abandoned and vandalized. Hopefully someone can pick it back up and bring new life into it. I love movie theatres, I hope they never die out.
I have worked at AMC for a while. The irony is, the projection room in this abandoned building is clean and pristine, whereas the projection room where I worked was cluttered, with grimy floors and a filthy break room. I would bend over backwards with fellow bussers to clean it up. Apart from messes, I hope the theater industry soon recovers from the harsh realities of a disease outbreak.
I hope they do but realistically if Mulan does well on Disney plus, that will really hurt theatres because everyone else will do VOD. Studios can't afford to sit on those movies forever though.
my favourite part of his videos is his buddy never speaks or introduces himself he just always pops up and scares the shit outta me cause i forgot he’s got a buddy with him🤦🏽♀️😂

As a manager of a movie theater that is 1980/1990 retro, I find this totally fascinating. Our theater, while old, has had a lot of upkeep. Right now, our attention is focused on fixing roof leaks- the building is a flat top, and we had a snowstorm that left us with 1.5 feet of snow.. so the weight is giving our poor building some issues. I can see that this building had the same issue in their lobby, with the fallen ceiling tiles! We have those retro emerald green cabinets and counters in our concessions stand, neon lights everywhere, and a patterned carpet that is definitely nostalgic. And, our theater is smaller- smaller lobby, and only 7 auditoriums. :) I'd love to visit here, it seems so cool.
Lol it's hilarious that people fear germs considering they're constantly covered in trillions of them. Guess living in fear is a choice for the ignorant.
@@kevinkelley3906 ok so? You've been touching everything with no gloves your whole life have you died from this or any virus from any previous year and there is always a new more deadly one every year if you believe what you're being spoon fed.
@@kevcollins3810 Devin was talking about not wanting to go back to the movies because of COVID, not because of regular germs. He said- I don't know when I'll ever go back to the movies because of COVID- very clearly.
@@kevinkelley3906 you don't have to fear death. It's not me being a douche it's everyone else being afraid of the inevitable. Sorry I choose to enjoy each and every moment while everyone else has an irrational fear.
Unfortunately were going to see more of these great theaters abandoned. Back in the 80s and 90s that was the hot spot. Now you can order right from the comfort of your own home.
I feel sad too watching this, i don't know why it triggered my emotions so much but I'm glad that I'm not alone in these feelings. Ofcourse I would NEVER wish sadness upon someone. I hope you feel better by now, just remener sadness always passes and happiness and joy could be just around any corner! :)
@@srbnsn I don’t think everything will get wiped out, it’s likely to be gradual with humans disappearing first, than all big animals. Mostly cats and cockroaches will survive they say 🤔
@@srbnsn but a bomb or a meteor would not wipe out every building of earth. Now a blackhole would’ve been some interesting ending but very unlikely tho 🤔
@@fotografosinistro You have not a clue what bombs could be made in the future or what size asteroids could rip earth to shreds. The possibilities of instantaneous, even universe altering events could happen are infinite and unpredictable.
My toddler in The Sims 4 has a turquoise, teal, and purple room with white furniture and pink and purple lava lamps. She’ll get an indigo GameCube and matching computer when she’s older. Yep, my inner 90’s and 2000’s kid is showing 😊
The projectors are there but they took and probably auctioned off the platters and audio racks and also the mini projector for the preshow. My dad worked at a theater like this. It was fun sitting in the booth watching the movies. The audio racks had a small speaker you could switch on to hear the sound in the booth.
I worked in a movie theater for 4 years and I still go to movie theaters to this day. 2009. So seeing a movie projector isn't new to me hehehe they are amazing
This explore was a fun one, going to a movie theater has such a nostalgic feeling. Make sure to stay til the end to see the awesome projectors left behind !
Also,
When's the last time you went to the movies? and what was the film?
End of 2019. Doctor Sleep.
Mid 2019. Shazam
Dead Silence back in 2007. I remember I didn't like direction that horror films were going at the time which is one of the reasons why I've stopped going to the theaters.
Hi Dark Explorations! The last time I went to a movie theater was either 2004 or 03. There was a widow I worked with at the x.she had every Wend off if I was off we would go to this huge mall in south Florida. We shop eat & then watch a movie.i now live East TN & I no longer work because I'm on disability due to my illness.i want to say the movie we saw we didn't want to but it was the only chose we had was I think the name was boogie man with the guy from Seventh HEAVEN . I remember in the 1980s in my birth state of Vermont there was still drive in theater.my brother would take my sister & me.i remember watching Rambo & Crocodile Dundee.My 1st ever movie in a theater was the movie with the black man singing blue bird on my shoulder. I'm no longer into going into a crowd even before the covid.people are nasty & rude. I walk with a cane & people would push me. I prefer going for rides & exploring new places .as a child I grew up on a dairy farm & my dad would make time to go for rides.we would sometimes pick up my grandfather & go. If we asked where were going he would tell us where the car takes us.sometimes we would find ourselves in NH in some place with nothing but fields & 1 weird place to eat.my dad loved spending time with us & making memories. afterwards before going home( always we had to be home by 4 to take care/milk the cows) we would get ice cream.thank u for helping me remember the good x's. I hope u have a great day as well & stay safe 🙂😊🏚📽🎞🎬
🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
Just imagine all the great movies that played on those screens.
Right, all the classics
Shrek and Shrek 2
Lion King, Toy Story, Rugrats The Movie, Aladdin, Pokémon The First Movie, Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius.
Mrs. Doubtfire, Cableguy Ace Ventura 1 and 2
Not sure! Stadium seating 1990-2010+ (Lounge seating started after 2015). Many popcorn blockbuster movies in 1990-2005 with James Cameron Terminator 2 to Titanic or Batman last 3 or all 4 of 4, Forest Gump, etc (like he mentioned in video where George Lucas' Revenge Of The Sith was summer 2005 Star Wars final Prequels show)!
Those Neon signs need to be salvaged. Those are history.
I would buy them and put them in the home theater that I would then build...
I want the Warner Bros sign
I know i was just about to say surprised they werent stripped down, those signs are vintage by now. Unique and original items like these are no longer made unless probably commissioned or something.
They should auction them off.
Not to mention that 20th Century Fox will be Vintage soon since they where thinking or don't know if changed FOX out of logo.
"I dont know how to get to the projector rooms."
Walks directly past blueprints of the building.
But before that "there's a single light coming from the projection room, we're gonna have to walk up there"
Yes we're going to HAVE to check out something potentially sketchy... this is why white people get fucked up in horror movies so much lmao
Lol!!!!!
lmao good point
like he knows how to read them? lol.
@@manlymcstud8588 its a blueprint not hieroglyphics.... people are pretty pathetic and helpless if they can't read what is essentially a map of a building lol
I feel like people need to buy these properties and restore them in a way and salvage as much history as they can. That would be dope. Open them up again.
@Merraine there was a bank in Pasadena (Texas) that was like a landmark for Pasadena. It was a massive building and had beautiful architecture and an incredible interior, a piece of history for us and it’s been abandoned for years and years due to a health concern I forgot what exactly it was I think they used a material to build it that was found out to cause cancer. But anyway many many people wanted it restored because it was definitly doable but ultimately about 2 years ago it was demolished.
That would be awesome to do that, before the place deteriorates too much further! Problem is that thanks to the lockdowns, people have gotten so used to just streaming movies and watching them at home. So who knows if there will ever be as much need for these multiplex cinemas. Tragic but true, at least somewhat.
I would totally go to a restored vintage '90s movie theater like this, it would be cool if they had at least one room dedicated to playing movies from that time period while obviously having the rest playing the usual modern new releases.
@@lowccperformance4059 probably asbestos
@@BrackishWaterC yeah it was
Imagine if there was a person in there clapping and laughing as if a movie was playing.
Wouldn't surprise me!
And you could see part of his flesh deteriorating, inferencing that he’s been there since the early 90s
You mean a g-g-ghost!?
It would be kinda creepy. Imagine exploring it with your friends and you hear someone in a abandoned auditorium.
And then once he noticed you were there, he walked up to you and said, I feel I have had a hair caught between my eyes and my glasses. I couldn’t get rid of it through the whole movie, I have been picking at it the whole day. As he is now face to face with you you look closer and realize it was no hair, it was a tick stuck to his eyeball! Enjoy the rest of the show!
"Trying to find a way into the projector room" ......There's literally the blueprints on the main counter lol
I thought that.
that because he choose the easy mode, so he got blueprint on the main counter, it must be hidden in somewhere
LOL
Also. Locked part of the vault, but there are a large number of keys in the opened part
Susan Bish The whole point is to explore the space, not steal from it or vandalize it.
I get kinda sad when I see things like this...theaters, malls, stores, etc. Reminds me of another time when I was young hanging out with friends, going out on dates to the movies and shopping for things. Sigh, so many places, so many memories, gone. Sad 😢
Looking at most recent life before 2020 is gunna make anyone sad.
@@oddfuture7916 I miss the little things. I remember Friday night's were blockbuster movie and pizza nights. My kids would get all excited when we got there and they would each scramble to pick 1 movie, 1 romcom for the the Mrs, and 1 action/adventure or horror movie 4 me. Man, id give anything to go back to those days. 😓
Some might say the '90s and '00s were a whole nother plane of life. At least you got to experience your times in such an era. Rip.

This is sad. Being a little kid walking into the movie theater was so special. All of the lights, popcorn, and movie posters. Just an unforgettable experience from my childhood.
I know what you mean.
Good thing there are still other theaters needing to be saved.

It actually only opened at the very end of the nineties (1999)

Movies will never look or sound the same at home as it does at the theater. Nothing can compare period.
Ikr! That’s why I miss going to the movies so much. I hope we can return to normal soon
Facts I hate ppl that say ughh I got a 60 inch TV and a fucking surround sound. Compare 60 inches to a giant fucking wall of a screen. They sound stupid asf.

@@alazkaalazka6087 those type of people have issues with just being around people period.
I used to work as a projectionist, the reason they don’t have little rooms for the projectors would be because movies start within 5 mins of each other and it was very manual before digital projection so you would literally be running from one projector to the next manually starting movies or rewinding movies which has ended! I’ve also used the Christie projector model too! Brings back memories!!
Ok then how and where are the speakers??? How many wires connects them????
@@shawnaburns5158 speakers are along the walls in the cinema and they connect up to a Dolby digital sound system which usually sits beside the projector in the projection room. Along one side of the 35mm film is the audio for the movie, a laser inside the projector reads the audio and converts it through the digital sound system and then to the speakers
@@stephenking8018 ok so the speaker wires are bunched up as they run up to the Soundsystem?? Kinda like on a airplane???
@@shawnaburns5158 yep! If you look on the walls of the movie theatres, there are usually curtains or folded fabric along the walls and the cables for the speakers usually run behind those from the projection room
@@stephenking8018 interesting! thank u so much for sharing that information! :D
I’m shocked there weren’t any homeless people taking refuge in the theater, seems like a perfect place
I am thinking the same...
This movie theater has only been closed for just over a year, OP is lying. Greenburgh Multiplex Theater
I know it even has running water and low level running lights. I bet the popcorn machine still works.
Its been closed about a year now. Also in the same lot there are open stores and a taco bell. So its not as empty as it looks there. Cops are always driving around too.
I would have to agree. Hey, its better than them being on the streets. This would be "perfect" for homeless people.
Drive ins are returning, theaters are closing down... did we jump to another dimension or something?
I cant wait til we have our first drive in ...in my little town
It was all part of the plan. Muahahaha
Covid
Drive ins are safer.
California only has a few abandoned Drive-Ins left hopefully everyone'll take advantage of the current situation and give them the love they deserve
Yes I know its about Covid and its safer its just funny to me its called a joke ya'll LOL
I love what you guys do, man.. you show off these places without all the clickbait and trap music and exaggeration, it’s just pure raw exploration and appreciation of these old abandoned places
Totally agree
Trap music lol, some urbex videos feel generic when they do that
I do the same if you’d like to check me out!👍🏻
Music isn't necessary if the actual topic is good! Too often it is mixed too loud so you cant hear the people talking too. :/
The one thing I love about abandoned exploring is the quietness. Nothing is as real as a place that was once loud, now completely eerily silent. I started this years ago with the intentions of keeping it real and raw. I'm glad I could reach so many homes and entertain. Always more coming guys 🖤
The fact that that blood hadn't totally browned over and still had a reddish tint means that it was still fairly fresh.

I agree. I've worked at a theater and this theater being abandoned for 13 years is cleaner than after 1 showing of Avengers at 7pm on a Saturday night.
It wasn't. I know where this is. It closed in March because of covid and the operator just went in and ripped the equipment out a few weeks ago and ended the lease.

Greenburgh Multiplex Theater, Elmsford NY, closed in 2019. For some reason, that tour was really fun, kind of sad and a little spooky. Also, the theater opened in 1999. So, sadly, it only lasted 20 years.
Its sad when you look at the pictures of it online and see what is was like when it was open.
Thanks for mentioning the location, was wondering.
Thank you for the info
M D it’s supposed to get replaced with a supermarket
Yes, thank you for the info, was also wondering what it was called & where it was at. Now-a-days, a 20 year run for a such a business is not too surprising, particularly with movie theaters closing left & right.
1:00 someone’s gotta save those neon signs, they are piece of history and don’t deserve to just sit there
The guy who does Retail Archeology would agree with you.
Love that the theater opened in 1999 and closed in 2019... barely a 90s movie theater lolz
It is so sad and amazing seeing movie theaters being abandoned, like malls. It is a nostalgia trip.
Theatres took a big hit with COVID.
The Regal near me has been closed for months. Though I don't know if I'd go back since it also had cloth seats. Ugh. They always smelled musty.
Make me feel like I’m in stranger things. Waiting for the demogorgons
I work as the after hours maintenance guy at a theater built back in the mid 80’s. The problem isn’t so much that it doesn’t get cleaned. Movie theaters are a low margin business and they can be pretty stingy with hours and wages. I only get four hours a night to clean and set up the entire place for the next day all by myself so you really have to rush, and if there’s something broken you have to fix then you’re in an even bigger hurry. Add to that all the people who are really nasty and throw and spill stuff all over the place but also sometimes do insane things like smear human waste on the walls or mirrors in the restrooms and you get an idea of what a challenge it can be. It’s pretty demoralizing trying to accomplish as much as you can in a large area like that in such a short amount of time. I have an assistant that works with me on weekends and you wouldn’t believe the number of them that just quit on me and walk out in the first hour.
As far as when theaters are going to reopen, your guess is as good as mine. I’ve been laid off since 19 March and the main reason besides the pandemic that we haven’t reopened is that there is nothing to show. The few new movies that are out there either keep getting their release dates pushed back or the studios just throw up their hands and put them online to stream. At this point I’m not sure we’ll ever reopen again if we don’t do it by this fall.
The movie theater in Cheyenne Wyoming is open now but just showing classic movies like the Goonies.
Can 100% confirm people loved smearing poop on the walls in the restrooms. No idea why this happened *often* at my theater lol kids puking a ton (1 gallon of slurpie/soda + a gallon of popcorn in a stomach the size of a softball = vomit city) was also extremely common
I feel so sorry for you.
Satoshi9801 Eh, it is what it is. I’m retired and do this job for a little extra money. I don’t mind working hard and I enjoy routine, plus it’s one of the few jobs where I can work alone without anyone bothering me and it’s quiet. Manager is pretty good to me as well, so that doesn’t suck.

How cool! Is it still in business or is it abandoned like this one too?
kristine elizabeth It’s still in business! It’s apart of the Regal chain of theaters. That company has no interest whatsoever in investing their profits into upgrading their older theaters sadly. So they’re left looking like this one, only still operating. Old equipment, outdated & uncontrollable seats... the whole 9 yards. Lol.

If that movie theater you worked for doesn't want to invest in some upgrades, I can only hope they can survive this pandemic.

Absolutely no way it's been closed since 2005. Judging by the trash at 11:25 it closed very recently. I'd say probably because of covid
@@katrina7679 I'd say it has been closed for at least six years since it wasn't converted to digital projectors. The last of the film projectors in movie theaters went out around 2014.

a lot more abandoned everything

The projectors definitely should have been taken or auctioned by the company. Those are worth a *ton*. That window you looked it had the piping for it in the ceiling (many made so much heat that they are cooled from outside on the roof). Worked at one for 10 years and the old non digital projectors made so much heat it was insane. Can 100% confirm that was butter/oil on that floor and that NEVER comes off. We mopped, bleached, de-greased that every night and it never leaves that tile. Literally fuses with the tile for eternity. You basically just slid when you worked back there like you were on ice. Insane seeing the exact same popcorn popper my theater had still there. This makes me equal parts nostalgic and sad knowing Covid will probably kill the last theaters.

*Update: This dude literally changed his description from 2006 to 2019. I guess he didn’t want nobody to notice.*

Bruh I’m asking the same question

Also they found a blood smite going upstairs where private meetings can happy and rich criminals do own beautiful legal everyday business like my beautiful favorite store Walgreens for example. Blood doesn’t just get there and if the place was to remain nice but there’s obviously random broken shit then stuff obviously happens. Blood looks dry but fresh. Also what’s up there that could cut so deeply or what happened to have blood on the wall 🩸 and for illegal business reasons nothing would be brought and left.

memories
Memories of this place are real bro.
To 2019
I can’t believe the speakers and projectors are still there. Crazy.
Didn't see the speakers, but the projectors appear to be "film". About as useful as a betamax vcr these days. It does look like a couple of projectors had been removed.
Russell Hltn speakers are all along the walls of the theater rooms. Yeah didn’t see the front stage speakers in the video. Agreed those projectors are now vintage but so cool and still very expensive to just be sitting there!
The ice maker machine is pretty expensive too.
Used to be a projectionist. It looks like not all the projectors are there. Seems like they sold the few that they could to other theaters and left the ones that needed work. They wouldn't be worth anything now since most theaters have all digital projectors but from the looks of the place, they went under far before the mass switch over to digital in the late 2000s so they definitely could've made some money from their ones in decent shape.
Also I noticed their film pans are gone which are big metal pans that would sit next to the projectors and distribute/collect the film as it went through the projector. At the very least those could've been sold for scrap.
I went to this movie theatre a lot during the late 90's when it was new, through the 2000's. A few more theatres were built in the area after this one was built, making it seem outdated quite quickly. It was built around the late 90's, but was abandoned only a couple of years ago, around 2018 - not 2006 like the description says. That's why it looks rather clean (for an abandoned building). The town it's in recently approved plans to demolish and build a supermarket in it's place, which probably explains why the blueprints are there.
I wonder how this guy got access to be in there
Iliana Ortiz it’s called he just went there and explored probably not hard to get on the property lol
Ngl, I would be tempted to snag one of the silver screens for myself because they cost quite a bit and I imagine they would be throwing them away anyway.
@@ElderDoge i would of came around with a truck later and grabbed all those speakers from all the theater rooms and srll them, maybe keep some in my basement for movie night
@@Nemy360 I'm curious how big the speakers are behind the screen.

@@Eerie_Canal well tbh that’s probably true since the near by Walmart in white plains closed in 2018
It’s very well intact! Someone could literally buy it and start using it again with not much repair work required
If only lol, it was demolished and became an Audi dealership shortly after this video was filmed.
@@thecrypticvampire3486 damn… it do be like that
I love the production logos (Paramount, Columbia Pictures, Warner Bros, etc) on the walls. That's neat! Now THAT'S how a movie theater lobby should look like.
Those look like neon tubes, would probably look amazing. Pity that they probably got smashed when the building was demolished...
This is bringing back so many memories because I went to that specific theater as a young kid and I have had so many party’s there and omg
Looks so similar to the massive dollar cinema just outside Charlotte, NC (Independence Blvd)- precious memories!
Where is this
@@timwalker8776 eh, I wouldn't say that. The one on Independence is way smaller than that one. At one point the floors were black and white tiles, the walls were purple, and had massive murals of old hollywood celebrities. This theater reminds me more of the one in Pineville that was AMC, only because of size and the trees surrounding it, except most of the seats at least reclined and the theme was red. 😁
@@klackey224 Fantastic! Thanks for the update- would you remind me where Pineville is- down South Blvd- I would go to Manifest Discs and then drive 5 or so miles south to the huge multiplex! There was also a branch of Repo Records on South Blvd at one time! Again, thanks for stirring my memories!

this comment needs to go to the top so everyone knows how misleading his videos are. That's why the Power was on because he filmed shortly after it closed down in 2019.
@@HaniJIsmail , the title is correct in saying this is an abandoned 1990's movie theater.
No wonder it closed down, they failed to update it!
That would explain why there were still projectors in the upper hall with lenses intact. Those lenses are worth THOUSANDS. Back in the early 00's I was about to go into a lease to restore a theater from the late 80's that closed in 2000. Landlord took me up to the projection hall to "impress" me with all the projectors still in place. I walked up to each one and said "Well, these are nice, but they're worthless without the lenses." I declined to pick up the lease. Turned out the former owner helped himself to the lenses when he walked out on the lease.
Fun Fact: The most likely reason the power is on is to have the lights on to deter rats and other rodents.
Interesting
They would be scared of the lights?
And in 2005, the most iconic animated movies playing before they went out of business were corpse bride, Madagascar, robots, and everyone’s favorite Disney movie, chicken little. Not a great year.
I miss theaters so much. I can’t wait to go back to one.
could you imagine walking into one of those dark abandoned movie theatre rooms with the light and some dude is way in the back corner like “hey ! turn that light off i’m enjoying the show !”
As soon as movie theaters open I’ll be there with bells and whistles. This fear stuff has to end. Great video my man.
What I've seen isn't fear-- it's straight up paranoia. People need to grow a pair and go back to their normal lives,
You said it!
Young and healthy. Just live your life. It’s not a big deal for god sake.
The fear can end when the threat has ended. That hasn’t happened yet so fear is pretty important. Once we have a vaccine (which is looking promising tbh), then we can “live our lives”.
If you’re young and healthy, staying safe isn’t for your benefit - it’s to keep everyone else disease free. The elderly/those more at risk aren’t the ones spreading the disease - it’s us.
Don’t worry, this will all be over soon. The sooner we all wear masks and social distance, the sooner it’ll be over. It’s as simple as that
@@jamie.goodson it's literally a cold, it doesn't need a vaccine, it's not a disease, cancer is a disease, the fear is absolutely ridiculous and I play no part in it
@@beckynik-nik721 My housemate is a covid nurse here in London, working in the ICU (intensive care unit). On occasion she comes back home in tears having cared for so many people who have lost their lives to the virus. Once she had to hold the phone up for an old man (as he was too weak to hold it himself) while the family facetimed him to say their last goodbyes. They weren't allowed to come into the hospital room.
Thankfully the death toll has been steadily declining here in the UK (everyone here wears masks on public transport and in shops etc).
I know you're scared and this is obviously a hard time for everyone, and it's easier for us to just think of covid as a simple cold. But unfortunately we have to face reality. As long as you wear masks and social distance then you've got absolutely nothing to worry about, you'll be fine :)
This theater was demolished in January 2021. A new Shop Rite is now being built on the land. This was the Greenburgh Multiplex Cinemas. It opened in 1999 and closed on May 30th 2019. FUN FACT there was another Multiplex Cinemas about 2 miles down the road from this one which was demolished in 2016. It was the same size as Greenburgh with 10 theaters but a lot older. Very odd having two massive theaters on the same road. Both theaters had the same owner. Hard the believe there both gone now
Well I say it should be reopened instead of a new shop rite I mean what I saw in this video it looks awesome.
yep I have been to both 🙁
Yeah I had placed this as VERY late 90s or early 00s, thanks for confirming. It was the stadium seating that gave it away, they didn't start doing that until the late 90s.

Everyone is taking about how nostalgic this makes them feel. Makes me feel so old that I remember when movie theaters didn't have stadium seating and had curtains that would rise before the trailers/movie would start. Nice video though. I hope to return to the theater once this virus is shut down. There's just something about seeing a movie on the big screen with an audience. (Of course one with out people on their cellphones. )

*This may be more Historical than you know. Movie theaters may never come back due to this Corona Virus. The talk is, that indoor theaters are a thing of the past that makes your video more historical than you might have expected.*
Chilling statement... Take away the togetherness of movie theaters, you're taking away a lot of other societal gatherings as well...
Odd Future Vanishing of movie rental stores and music stores. Now this is the final blow. It’s really sad how things have turned out.
I doubt coronavirus will take out theaters 🎥 . Eventually a cure or inoculations will come out & be given to the masses. Eventually things will go back in time. People in the 50s put bomb shelters in their backyard and that was the norm.
Honestly movie theatres have always just given me anxiety and it’s such a rip off
Another thing destroyed by the Internet. More job's going and a lot more. Each shopping mall that close and place like this. No body thinks about who out of work next time they download or buy something of the Internet.
I used to be a manager at a movie theatre not too different from this one. It had 9 screens and one main lobby/concession area. This brings so much nostalgia back for me.
And yes projection 'rooms' are actually just big long hallways, generally. This makes it a lot easier for a projectionist to work and monitor each screen.
The main office is where the managers would monitor staff/the lobby through the cameras, count money and open/close out tills. Our theatre had two big safes. We had to balance the $14,000 cash safe every night before leaving. It couldn't be off by even a cent, we had to make sure it was exactly $14,000. On busy nights you'll do lifts from tills so you'll take their cash and leave their floats (about $200) so that they aren't holding onto too much cash. It was a very bustling type of work. There's coin and paper money counters, similar to what banks use.
Movie theatres, especially 90s and early 00s still went through a ton of cash so handling a lot of it was part of manager and supervisor jobs. My theatre also used head sets to communicate. So a manager and a supervisor would have one, multiple concession staff would have one, a projectionist would have one. Any time something was needed or something went wrong: You'd hear it on the ear piece.
The theatre you walked into that had lights, where you said it's how it is right before showing: those are actually the cleaning lights. House lights/Tivoli lights (The little ones along the floor to guide you during the movie) are what they use for pre-show for people to be seated, and after the show.
The concession area will forever be greasy, doesn't matter how often they mop. I had shoes that I called my butter shoes because they forever were greasy. And a pair of dress pants that were also my butter pants. (I often helped in concession when it was busy)
The projectors being left is crazy because they look like they're digital so they would be expensive. Although looks like they had swapped from film maybe recently before closing because i see some of the plate stands still there.
The theatre I worked at only had 2 digital projectors and otherwise was still using film when I was working there. That was a piece of history that I feel really nostalgic for. There no other type of panic you feel when a plate stops spinning properly. We once had to have a projectionist sit there and manually spin the plate to allow the film continue playing for the rest of the movie. He was a good kid!! I told him we could cancel the film and he said he would just do it.
I've never been big on going to the movies (Though I do miss it now because of Covid restrictions) but I loved working at one. The behind the scenes was really fun. I can still remember all the smells.
This was such a cool video to stumble onto. Thanks for sharing! It's sad to see it left abandoned and vandalized. Hopefully someone can pick it back up and bring new life into it. I love movie theatres, I hope they never die out.
I have worked at AMC for a while. The irony is, the projection room in this abandoned building is clean and pristine, whereas the projection room where I worked was cluttered, with grimy floors and a filthy break room. I would bend over backwards with fellow bussers to clean it up. Apart from messes, I hope the theater industry soon recovers from the harsh realities of a disease outbreak.
I hope they do but realistically if Mulan does well on Disney plus, that will really hurt theatres because everyone else will do VOD. Studios can't afford to sit on those movies forever though.

kryptism Lmaoo I was just thinking that 😹😹😹💀
As a manager of a movie theater that is 1980/1990 retro, I find this totally fascinating. Our theater, while old, has had a lot of upkeep. Right now, our attention is focused on fixing roof leaks- the building is a flat top, and we had a snowstorm that left us with 1.5 feet of snow.. so the weight is giving our poor building some issues. I can see that this building had the same issue in their lobby, with the fallen ceiling tiles!
We have those retro emerald green cabinets and counters in our concessions stand, neon lights everywhere, and a patterned carpet that is definitely nostalgic. And, our theater is smaller- smaller lobby, and only 7 auditoriums. :)
I'd love to visit here, it seems so cool.
So funny! "These places are full of germs" You mean like the WHOLE WORLD? Hilarious.
Lol it's hilarious that people fear germs considering they're constantly covered in trillions of them. Guess living in fear is a choice for the ignorant.
@@kevinkelley3906 ok so? You've been touching everything with no gloves your whole life have you died from this or any virus from any previous year and there is always a new more deadly one every year if you believe what you're being spoon fed.
@@kevcollins3810 Devin was talking about not wanting to go back to the movies because of COVID, not because of regular germs. He said- I don't know when I'll ever go back to the movies because of COVID- very clearly.
@@kevinkelley3906 you don't have to fear death. It's not me being a douche it's everyone else being afraid of the inevitable. Sorry I choose to enjoy each and every moment while everyone else has an irrational fear.
@@kieranturneroverdrive5593 media much???
This makes me feel so sad 😭 I miss the movies so damn much.
How you doin' 😏
Me to
I do too. Accepting movie theatres are about to go extinct especially if Mulan does well on Disney Plus and there isn't much they can do about it.
Unfortunately were going to see more of these great theaters abandoned. Back in the 80s and 90s that was the hot spot. Now you can order right from the comfort of your own home.
I feel sad too watching this, i don't know why it triggered my emotions so much but I'm glad that I'm not alone in these feelings. Ofcourse I would NEVER wish sadness upon someone. I hope you feel better by now, just remener sadness always passes and happiness and joy could be just around any corner! :)
Someday, this entire world will look just like that.
Not if everything gets wiped out fully
@@srbnsn I don’t think everything will get wiped out, it’s likely to be gradual with humans disappearing first, than all big animals. Mostly cats and cockroaches will survive they say 🤔
@@fotografosinistro That’s only one of many possibilities. Things like black holes, bombs and asteroids for example could make earth reduce to atoms.
@@srbnsn but a bomb or a meteor would not wipe out every building of earth. Now a blackhole would’ve been some interesting ending but very unlikely tho 🤔
@@fotografosinistro You have not a clue what bombs could be made in the future or what size asteroids could rip earth to shreds. The possibilities of instantaneous, even universe altering events could happen are infinite and unpredictable.
I’m feeling nostalgic for a place that I have never been
White, purple, torqouise. Yup 90’s color scheme alright lol
Reminds me of old taco bell!
Haha i had ski jacket those colors early 90s in college
Erik S yeah I had a sweater when I was a kid the torqouise with purple collars on the neck and sleeves it was god awful lol
My toddler in The Sims 4 has a turquoise, teal, and purple room with white furniture and pink and purple lava lamps. She’ll get an indigo GameCube and matching computer when she’s older.
Yep, my inner 90’s and 2000’s kid is showing 😊
I love to see this kind of videos where everything isn't destroyed
Sadly some people see ones like this then find it and go and pillage and destroy it after....
The projectors are there but they took and probably auctioned off the platters and audio racks and also the mini projector for the preshow. My dad worked at a theater like this. It was fun sitting in the booth watching the movies. The audio racks had a small speaker you could switch on to hear the sound in the booth.
I could probably thread that Christie even though it's been 20 years. Ah - the memories.
I worked in a movie theater for 4 years and I still go to movie theaters to this day. 2009. So seeing a movie projector isn't new to me hehehe they are amazing
