new jersey theater shows first-run korean movies

Korean American residents in Ridgefield Park, New Jersey recently had the rare chance to see a first-run South Korean movie, Portrait of a Beauty, in a proper AMC multiplex theater. The evening definitely reflects the major population shift that's happening in Bergen County: For Korean-Americans, a Big Night Out.

One screen at the AMC Loews in Ridgefield Park will show first-run Korean movies -- a first for a major U.S. theater chain. And if enough seats fill up, they hope to expand to AMC theaters in other cities with large Korean populations, including New York and Los Angeles.
