Buffal0 Bill5 Posted April 10, 2007 Posted April 10, 2007 I have googled, and dogpiled, and haven't come up with anything conclusive. I was hoping to go up for Chuck E. Cheese and a movie with the kids. It seems like there was a discount theater near Buff State at one time. Any ideas?
EZC-Boston Posted April 10, 2007 Posted April 10, 2007 The como? I've seen some terrible movies for $1.50 there but something tells me it has been gone for a long time.
stuckincincy Posted April 10, 2007 Posted April 10, 2007 The como? I've seen some terrible movies for $1.50 there but something tells me it has been gone for a long time. It was still open when I left Buffalo...in 1978.
Rico Posted April 10, 2007 Posted April 10, 2007 Last time I was in Buffalo, there was a 2nd-run theater complex on Elmwood between Hertel & Kenmore, across the street from Channel 4... maybe that's the one you're thinking of.

Closed. I do not think there are any 1.50 theatres in Buffalo right now. On Walden (I think) near the Wal-Mart out there, there is a $3.00 theatre. It's still open.
LabattBlue Posted April 10, 2007 Posted April 10, 2007 The como? I've seen some terrible movies for $1.50 there but something tells me it has been gone for a long time. It's been closed for at least a few years now.
Buffan00 Posted April 10, 2007 Posted April 10, 2007 Quit being cheap and take em to see a new movie!

On Walden (I think) near the Wal-Mart out there, there is a $3.00 theatre. It's still open. The Como is the Apple Tree Mall Business Park now. Theaters are long gone. That place on Elmwood is also closed. I think it's a Home Depot now. You still have the Movieland 8 in Cheektowaga - the old Thruway mall cinemas. Prices are cheap there. http://www.fandango.com/TheaterPage.aspx?l...5&tid=AARFF

I think its the cheapest theatre in Erie county. No, the Elmwood one is not a Hoem Depot, its next to a Home Depot. Last I checked .. it was just an empty building (what else is new in Buffalo).

ofiba Posted April 10, 2007 Posted April 10, 2007 Who wants to see a boring movie? Go on ebay and buy them all tickets to the Sabres playoff game on Saturday night. It might set you back about 10,000 bucks, but it'll be an experience they'll never forget.
Buffal0 Bill5 Posted April 11, 2007 Author Posted April 11, 2007 I was a day early for $1.50 movies at the Movieland 8. They offer those every Wednesday. The guy at the Regal on Elmwood said the $1.50 Theater closed about 8 years ago. Man time flies. It does seem that it used to sit where the Home Depot is now.
agilen Posted April 11, 2007 Posted April 11, 2007 The Four Seasons in Niagara Falls is still open, I believe. Not sure how much the movies there are nowadays, but it was always the cheap place. Its on Military Road, behind one of the strip malls, sorry, I don't remember which one.
justnzane Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 The Como is the Apple Tree Mall Business Park now. Theaters are long gone. When I was in my mid teens, my cousin, buddies and i would walk stoned from the middle of Depew to Apple Tree to watch movies, after watchin one we'd sneak in for 2 or 3 more... ya know to get our $1's worth. We had some crazy adventures just walking to the movies, especially since we would cut through abandoned railroad tracks and bridges that would drop 30 feet into cayuga creek if you fell. I miss those days
