Harry Posted December 26, 2009 Share #1 Posted December 26, 2009 At AMC Empire 25 in Times Square, the nation's busiest movie theater, Christmas Day requires a dress rehearsal. "We do so much business we do game plans before hand," said Empire 25 manager Christine Ceveno, who predicted 15,000 people would see a flick there on Christmas Day, the busiest day of the year. "We order double [the amount of concessions] we usually get." While national box-office sales figures were not available Friday, industry experts have predicted Christmas weekend could be the most profitable ever - surpassing the $260.8 million record set by "The Dark Knight" last year. Several big films opened Friday, including "Sherlock Holmes," staring Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law, and "It's Complicated," with Meryl Streep, Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin.

Pablo M 201 Posted December 26, 2009 Share #2 Posted December 26, 2009 I'm very much not surprised. Everytime theres a new flick out and I'm in the area I always see a line. I would love to go there more often but its too expensive for my budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aqueduct Posted December 27, 2009 Share #7 Posted December 27, 2009 The peepshow booths around the corner from AMC offer a better deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Concourse Posted December 29, 2009 Share #8 Posted December 29, 2009 Ever since AMC bought out Lowes, I still miss that theater on 42nd 'E Walk' is what it was called before Regal bought it. I haven't been to the AMC Empire 25 theater yet. Will have to check it out some day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
