Wow. Does anyone know if this will affect the Admiral Twin or the Circle Cinema?

The new projectors at Admiral Twin are digital:

"Smith continues to make upgrades to his equipment. In May, he installed digital projectors, which display a better picture. He also made upgrades to the concession stand."

Don't know about Circle Cinema

When I went for the UHF screening at the Circle. The picture was dull and looked it's age. I was not impressed with the theater screens but I did like the look of the lobby and the older memorabilia.

When Phase II is completed, the Circle Cinema will feature four screens, approximately 540 seats, state of the art projection, Dolby Digital sound, and reserved seat ticketing.  The original pipe organ that was at the Circle has been restored and will be installed in the larger of the two new theatres.  An added facet of the new theatres is that each will be equipped for use as enhanced classrooms and presentation auditoriums with multimedia applications. Each will include a lectern touch panel control with laptop connectivity/ projection at 32 seats. This feature will expand the facility’s use for instructional programs, seminars, and business meetings.

I would hope that these mean digital projectors

There we go.  At least the new auditoriums have digital capabilities

The Cinema complex will include the original black box theater, a spacious exhibition space in the old lobby, the two new auditoriums featuring state-of-the-art 35mm and digital projection, an airy new lobby with ticket booth and concession stand and the restored entrance and neon marquee.

Yep, Rebound is correct- the Admiral Twin is all set to go either way, I think they perfer to use only digital projection now  and have used only digital since May, 2013 on all films. The Admiral twin is really fixed up nice now and I hear the food/snacks are great.
