Took the tip from posters here and went to AMC 12 in Leesburg - 30 min drive for us, about 15 more than going to Spanish Springs.

We have MoviePass so price was no object. The AMC Leesburg theater:
1. OMG the seats are FABULOUS - POWER reclining with a full footrest as well. So comfy and soft leatherlike. Full padded armrests - with tons of room. Would love a few at home...
2. Reserved seating - either online or when buying at the ticket office...like buying a ticket for Savannah or Sharon.
3. The ticket price for a 60+ senior before 5pm is $5.29. $5.66 with tax. Yes that is NOT a typo.
4. The Mall is being renovated and has some nice new stores too. So the trip there has another purpose.
5. They have a very wide assortment of food/snacks and alcoh beverages at the theater too.

Bottom line for us - since we dislike Rialto venue...any movie we want to see that is playing there> we go to the Leesburg AMC12. So worth the trip.
And we will let Craig Franco (Mgr of TV theaters) know that. We like to give TV merchants our business, but not this time, until the Rialto is improved.
DeanFl.....Please forward this email to Craig Franco and to who ever his boss is (Mark Morse maybe). I think that is what is going to possibly get something done about this issue with the Rialto. Thanks.
