Are these regular theaters or dine-in? Hard to tell how many of the theaters are getting recliner seats.
Dine in theaters. It looks like 16, 17, 18 are now open as dine in. 15 wasn’t opened yesterday but probably close to done. 19 and 20 there is a wall still blocking entrance to those. 21-24 screens are still running as of yesterday and they haven’t been remodeled yet. I was in 17 for Godzilla and in addition to recliners that have a heated feature (they can get hot) it was also a brand new screen and picture quality was great. I go to this theater at least weekly so know it pretty well.
I just know the Dine In theaters for sure are getting the full remodel but really hope the other theaters follow suit cause they need some improvement for sure.
Cameras inside movie theatres don’t mix wellNo one has photos of this remodel? We have endless photos of ice cream cones and cupcakes, but no construction photos? Come on, people!

Since no one else would do it, I took some photos myself. The auditorium I was in wasn't upgraded yet, but here are some of the lobby, restrooms, and corridors. I think it looks really nice. I wish I had been in an upgraded auditorium. Someone else take pictures of that, please!
LOBBY: (those rectangles are tile, not carpet, btw). I had a feeling they didn't install white carpet!
RESTROOM: Again, that's white TILE, not carpet. LOL!
AUDITORIUM ENTRANCES:
GENERAL CORRIDOR CARPET: Also not white.

Ah, yes, you can mock my original post all you want about the white carpet. Obviously they realized the original pattern would get dirty far too fast and they switched it out before they completed the work. Sorry I didn’t think pictures were necessary but here are the photos from when they first begun installing the white and light grey carpet in February.

Definitely lighter than what they ended up with, but still not white.

Photo update as of Wednesday, June 26, 2019. New exterior paint scheme (tan and brown) and signage for the AMC theater. Gone is the AMC sign that used to be on the round portion of the building (for now).

Stopped in last night for a movie and saw that the bathrooms at the main lobby where closed behind curtains. Off hand I though those bathrooms may have already been refurbed? If that was the case I'm not sure if there was some issue. They may not have been done yet, if that's the case ... well they're working on them now then.

This is adorable. Heck of a lot better than DL's AMC Theaters. Everything looks like a hotel.
They were the last bathrooms to be done. They are now open.

Man you think with all the money and time they could have at least removed and clean up the trash from this area... that MIB standee is just sitting there!

The kitchen area is currently being redone. During this time they are not offering the Dine In menu. No ETA on when that will be complete, but it's not expected to take to long.
2 of the theaters to the left when you walk in on the Planet Hollywood side were open today.

Good to see this remodel almost done.
Now, they need to keep their new soft product looking good. Too many theaters just let it go to hell, almost immediately.

Are they adding a second Dolby screen. I reserved Tenet’s early access showing in Dolby Cinema and couldn’t help but notice they have a 5pm and 7pm showing for the film in Dolby Cinema and the film is 2 hours and 30 minutes... oh and the Dolby showing at 7pm is in Auditorium 12...
Pretty sure it was an error. The 5pm show is marked as sold out.
