Yes I did see it in the theater. It was the old Woodlake 3 in Houston. First some background from "Trophy Property on HoustonArchitecture.comWe're taking you back to 1979 with these behind the scenes stills from ALIEN. Did you see this film in the theater in '79? #WayBackWednesday pic.twitter.com/2eN0Q2Cug5— Alien (@AlienAnthology) October 18, 2017
I grew up going to Theatres with 3-6 screens. I have some great memories of Briargrove 3 before it became and dollar theatre and after. When we moved to Briargrove Park we had all sorts of options. There was AMC Westchase 5, Plitt Woodlake Square 3, AMC Town & Country 6 and Also Lowes Town and Country 3. Any movie you wanted to see was at those theaters.
I can remember seeing Rocky III, Scarface (snuck in), and ET at Woodlake 3.
I can remember the narrowness of the T&C 6 Lobby. There was also a cool video game room. It probably had 6-10 video games.
I can remember in 7th grade meeting and kissing a girl at T&C 3 while viewing Revenge of the Nerds. It was my first pick up. My buddy got farther than me (2nd base if you will) and never let me live that one down. His girl was cuter as well.
I remember getting dropped off at all these theaters for an early movie and we would stay and watch 2 movies. It was a fun time.
When AMC Town and Country 12 was built across I-10 the movie experience started to shift towards bigger theaters with more choices.
