Old Mill Playhouse, Lake Sumter Landing
 
What were they thinking? Long lines to get into movies running thru lobby set up for Lazy Macs shows. If you want a drink, wait in line at Lazy Mac's counter but if you want popcorn wait in line (again) at the theater counter. I can't even imagine what this will be like when the snowbirds come back. Dumbest idea yet.

AMC Leesburg
 
Drive over to the AMC theater in Leesburg to see a movie. It's only a 30 minute drive and no lines!

Well you could be staying inside like last year.

There is always something to complain about...there's more to be thankful for.

you're right, it's not a good design. like the other poster said, just a small thing we'll need to deal with in this new world

I, too, was saddened by the lobby there.

Worst-idea in the world was to serve booze in a movie theatre, IMHO.

We agree about AMC in Leesburg; we go there at least once a week. If you are a frequent moviegoer, become an A-Lister there and save a lot on ticket costs. Plus enjoy recliner seating and advanced reserved distanced seating.

Sssshhhh !

And Leesburg has electric recliner seats and you can buy your seat position online for a couple of bucks more

I agree, it’s a mess. Why don’t they open up the Brownwood theater. There’s a lot more active people down this way, that would probably go see the movies more than having to take a half an hour drive up to Sumter, then wait another half an hour to 45 minutes to get into the theater.

You guys are so quick to answer that you forget the whole point! Maybe someone wants to go to a movie and then catch some music at the square or dinner in the villages where they live! That's where they live maybe they can walk there maybe it's a very short drive and they appreciate that.

Suggesting that someone go to Leesburg or anyone else is idiotic in this scenario

How do you like spending $15 on a 3 ounce glass of wine and have moviegoers walking between your tables non stop?

Kgcetm 06-14-2021 08:04 AM

That was then, this is now. Get a life.

Barborv 06-14-2021 09:15 AM

Wait!! I haven’t been down to my house since last summer, so I don’t know the set up fir Lazy Macs. I was looking on line at the entertainment because I’ll be down in a few weeks for the summer.
Is it worth checking it out ? I’ll be having people come visit and was thinking of different things besides or the usual.(shows at Savannah, Sharon, the studio, etc.

Taltarzac725 06-14-2021 09:18 AM

Any reliable information about when the Old Mill Playhouse will move to showing movies all week long as in Monday through Sunday?
