![]() ![]() The incredible, dazzling, and one-of-a-kind Vincent Van Gogh: Immersive Experience is coming to one of Philly’s best music venues! After much anticipation, the surprise location has been unveiled as: The Tower Theater, a majestic building right in the heart of Upper Darby, a half-hour drive from Center City Philly. Huge discouragement! It's BYOButter now.Van Gogh’s masterpieces are coming to life at one of the most iconic music venues in Philly this summer! Heard it was done for the vegans! How many of us are that?! More probably for the $$$$. THE TOWER THEATER MOVIELove the Tower Theater, BUT when Reading subsituted canola oil (ugh!, Yucko,& gag) for real butter, it RUINED the whole movie experience. As long the lease is in place, the movie theater will still stay in business. The theater will still remain open because Reading Cinemas has a lease. The building is supposed to be sold to another owner. Apparently they finally got around to getting containers with the Reading Cinemas logo. The management is the same company as it has been for years. Reading Cinemas has run the Tower Theatre for over 5 years at least. Other than that, everything else seems to be the same. ![]() The other change from this is that the Tower Theatre website now redirects to a Fandango page. This name now adorns the popcorn and soda containers, and there is a new (distinctly cheesey) pre-trailer show. 17:09:09 This theatre has at some point in the last few months transferred ownership (or just management) to 'Reading Cinemas'. The Tower management seems to be bending over backwards to alienate their long-standing customer base by making it impossible to obtain conveniently priced admission under any circumstances! Instead, the Tower continues a penurious "bargain matinee" policy avaialable ONLY on the first showing of a movie - sometimes as early as 11 AM! ![]() The discount card helped nurture and sustain a generation of loyal film-goers, as well as generated a sizable and predictable profit for the theatres in four different decades. The Tower discontinued the enormously successfully dicount card after over 30 years at four different theaters without publicity, notice, explanation, or even a "thank you" to the thousands of patrons who used these cards. 11:29:50 ChipZemple's sentiments are dead-on. Note my use of the phrase "used to" in the last sentence! - ChipZempel ![]() 14:28:42 Unfortunately, the Tower has discontinued their "Film Lovers" discount ticket book, which amounts to a 55% increase (from $5.50 to $8.50) in ticket prices for those of us who used to attend the Tower regularly. Both have deals where you can purchase a group of tickets at one time - 5, I believe - for a discounted price which makes things more affordable as well. 14:36:22 It is really nice to have the Tower and the Crest in town so independent films and foreign films are available to those of us who like such movies.

Owned by a New York company that runs "small" art house theaters around the country, they are strictly limited to showing what the main office determines will do well.
