New Orleans' Prytania rises up to 3D

by Steven Kim posted Jun 2nd 2009 at 1:44PM

Outside of the frozen food section at the supermarket, nothing beats the summer heat quite like a cool (or downright cold) movie theater, and the recently Sony/RealD 4k-equipped Prytania theater in New Orleans just added 3D capabilities to entice viewers some more. No surprise -- Disney's summer blockbuster, Up, was the first talkie to make the leap off the silver screen at the newly outfitted venue, and we suspect that The Prytania -- the only theater in N'awlins to have Up in 3D -- raked in a healthy crowd for its investment. We love to see storied theaters keep up with the times, and this almost 95-year old movie house is no exception.

The Prytania is great. I even had my birthday party there for Starwars VII when it was re released. Cant believe a small New Orleans theater actually made the news. In case anyone was wondering its actually a 2 story theater with a balcony. oh the memories......
