For Throwback Thursday, for you people who were around back in 1996, and if you were a kid growing up in the late 90s-early 2000s, here's the Loews Theatres "Enjoy the Show" snipe used from 1996 until around 2004. I saw this first uploaded by Gavin King recording the 35mm from his camera in his room, but 2 days ago, FT Depot uploaded the source video, using a 35mm to digital converter. Yes, long before digital projectors, movie theatres used 35mm projectors, which was commonly used from around the 20th century until around 2009 (but most still used it until around late 2015, when all movie theatres would go exclusively digital, as AMC, Regal, Cinemark, and Marcus announced back in 2009, that they would switch from 35mm projectors to digital projectors).
If you live where Loews Theatres had locations (now AMC Theatres locations), which former Loews Theatres is your local? (e.g. if you live in major metropolitan US cities like here in Chicago, Los Angeles, Seattle, New York City, and Philadelphia (all metropolitan cities where Loews had locations)). Yes, who here remember going to Loews Theatres a long time ago before 2006?
I fondly remember seeing this as a kid before the movies at my former local Loews Theatres location at Streets of Woodfield 20 in Schaumburg, IL (now an AMC Theatres location). This location opened in December of 1999, and became an AMC Theatres location in January of 2006.
Yes, I grew up as a kid going to Loews Theatres. The last movie I saw in theatres there was Chicken Little back in November of 2005, 2 months before Loews went defunct, and all theatres became AMC Theatres locations.

Correction, it's actually from 1996.
