A bit of a pipe dream but no matter what the Uptown deserves a real chance at a restoration project!!
I’m going to be attending the photo project tomorrow for the uptown but free idea for the @uptowntheatre.bsky.social folks if they ever find that billionaire : modernize some of the facilities while maintaining the beauty and solve Chicago’s true #IMAX problem too:

I just think the demand is beyond there. I don’t think investment cost should be a hindrance here in this market for anyone. Chicagoans will show up.
also know people that wanted to attend the showings of the stuff I went/am going to and couldn’t. So that’s already 1400+ tickets sold alone
Think about how much revenue could be made off of a full blown blockbuster true IMAX spectacle (and not even necessarily on film)
cannot believe we are so close to 500 signatures on the Chicago “true” #IMAX petition in a single week.
I personally am attending two sold out 70mm screenings on film at the Music Box this weekend (one is SLEEPING BEAUTY from 1959)
Chicago wants this!

oh you know what I've actually looked at this and thought about getting this before!!! (i think i pivoted and took my own photo for a paint by number that came out like garbage lol)
thanks for the reminder! i'll have to save some cash up!!!
and if you have a second sign our petition! we're trying to get a big corporation to hear us out here! if there's one thing music box has shown me, chicago is full of people who love going to the movies and seeing real film presentations! chng.it/crZ75kMgf4
chicago film lovers! support @musicboxtheatre.bsky.social's 70MM film festival!!! (and be sure to thank them for FINALLY bringing us Sinners on 70MM) 💕
I could never do a tat but I need that artwork in my home! wow!!! amazing stuff!!! (and congrats on 25, I just hit 10 years this weekend!!)
but I can’t have one goddamn true imax theater in Chicago give me a break
I also don’t want anyone feeling like they’re being duped or anything by this because I’m concerned about the effectiveness of this petition. Thanks!
We’re asking multimillion dollar corps to build one (1) building in the city of Chicago. Please save your money for your own uses or for actually going to the movies (which gives back to the artists)…
*I’d say please don’t feel ANY obligation to pay any money - it just so far it seems the only thing it does is amplify the post on their own website… I don’t super love any sort of ask for money on this….
the Chicago #imax petition has crossed over 300 signatures so far (I’m impressed by this in only about 36 hours!)
Please check it out and sign if interested in supporting!
chng.it/crZ75kMgf4
(I don't recommend giving money to anything - I am not specifically asking for money at all and I don't really understand what change dot org does with it. this is not that kind of campaign at this time. save your money for buying tickets when they build it)
the official petition is live for this project. please sign it and we'll see what we can do with your support! www.change.org/p/open-a-new...
Thanks for the follow! I have details on how we’re trying to make it happen here: sites.google.com/view/chicago...
But so far it’s a small awareness project and mostly me trying to get IMAX’s attention on twitter 🤷♀️
visited the new MJR Troy #IMAX today and it was a real treat. the screen is approx 45x83 (per their manager)
regal city north imax is only about 30x50 (per online sources)
could IMMEDIATELY tell the difference in size
Chicago really needs improved IMAX screens desperately #IMAX70mmChicago
🚨 AMC Roosevelt has signage up now that says the IMAX is coming soon; no word on dates yet
Reminder that this is a single laser IMAX and NOT going to be 70MM-capable, but it will be the first AMC IMAX in the city limits since Navy Pier www.reddit.com/r/imax/comme...
great news for #IMAX; hoping they realize they’re missing a huge potential earnings market by failing to invest in a theater expansion in Chicago
so impressively done!!!! we’d love to see 70MM IMAX come back to Chicago someday!!!!
it’s also the screen size for those theaters… so. absolutely. massive.
huge news for the north side; let’s do the uptown theatre next
