Guests experiencing COVID-19 symptoms must stay home.At ground level, experience the monumental scale of the grain elevators constructed in Buffalo in the first half of the twentieth century, and also see how they are now being repurposed.

I would have to add that it would not be my wife’s favorite choice.”Ĭhristiano and Barker said that, more than anything else, the private screenings experience has been a nice transition phase, as they keep their fingers crossed for a smooth vaccine rollout, so that they can return to business at hand. “At this point, it’s an outdoor trip, after being inside for the last year. If I was seeing a film with my brother and my parents, it would be Cinema Paradiso.”Ĭhristiano said that his choice was Fandango with Kevin Costner. “It’s cool to see on the big screen it’s nostalgic. Barker told me that his would have to be The Last Starfighter ( a 1984 American space opera film directed by Nick Castle). Of course I had to ask the two what their private screening choices would be. There’s an air purification machine near the concession stand too.” We still have a good selection of treats, even during the pandemic. We have licorice from Finland, and candies from all over Europe and Japan. “We have concessions from all over the world, to match the films. A popcorn of course… and maybe an Icelandic Chocolate bar? “We’re the only theater in town that stocks it,” they told me. Why not?Īs for the food and drinks, it’s best for moviegoers to pre-request what they will want. One guy asked if Barker could set an ambient mood for a film before it started – he wanted to hear some Tangerine Dream. And everyone has their favorite places to sit – most sit smack dab in the middle of the theater with perfect sight-lines and sound, but the lovebirds might sit in the back to smooch, and the sci-fi fans might sit in the front row.

“It’s not the Citizen Kane of animated movies,” agreed Christiano, although they both noted that the movie came out at the beginning of the pandemic, and a lot of kids missed it in the theaters.īarker did say that there is definitely a “type” of person that is looking to screen the movies – from science fiction fans to romantics. With that in mind, I asked Barker if he was surprised by any of the requests, and he said, “Yes, I was astonished to hear that some people wanted to see Trolls World Tour. Other than that everyone is apparently thrilled with the concept.Ĭhristiano said that this is a real opportunity to see a film that was meant for the big screen.
So far, everything has worked pretty much according to plan, except for the person that wanted to see a movie on a different film format. “I ask people to give me three of their top wishlist titles, and then I have to track down the rights. With 10 to 15 different films screened in a given week, it’s Barker’s job to make sure that everything is doable. If you think that it’s easy to pull something like this off, think again. “If you never got to see the film Major League on the big screen because it came out in 1989, and you were born in ’95, this is your opportunity to do so,” said Barker. The two attribute their own success to movie lovers who never had an opportunity to see their favorite films on the big screen. Christiano and Barker said that they saw that other cities had tried something similar, with success, so why not the North Park?
