Here’s a snapshot of the ArcLight Cinema under construction at Westfield Montgomery Mall, which Store Reporter recently had the chance to tour. Instead of a traditional box office (not necessary, since seats are reserved online), the lobby will post movie times on a “departure board” patterned after vintage train stations. We also got a glimpse of the theater’s 16 auditoriums, ranging from 100 seats (for classic and indie films) to 300 (for blockbusters). ArcLight, based in California, prides itself on attending to the details of a rich moviegoing experience. “We present our films the way filmmakers want them to be presented,” says VP Gretchen McCourt. The theater, is scheduled to open in late October.
