The Approach

The Lobby

The theater lives upstairs — and the journey starts the moment you walk through the front door. From the two-story foyer below, the Leone Cineplex neon burns purple above the balcony railing, posters flanking it on both sides, the black ceiling absorbing everything except that glow.

Most home theaters hide behind a closed door. Ours greets you from thirty feet away.

The Beacon

The Sign

Leone Cineplex neon sign glowing purple above the movie poster wall

Hand-crafted neon. When it glows purple in the dark, movie night is officially on. It hangs above the poster wall at the far end of the balcony — visible from the foyer below, the staircase, and anywhere in the front of the house.

When that sign is lit, you know exactly where everyone is going to be for the next two hours.

The Gallery

The Poster Wall

Five framed posters flank the neon on both sides. The blacklight hits them at night. Each one means something to the Leone household. The popcorn machine and café table anchor the far end of the balcony.

The Picture

The Display

85 inches of Sony 4K. Deep blacks, wide color gamut, and motion clarity sharp enough to catch details you missed the first five times you watched the movie. Without the sticky floors.

Paired with the 9.2 Atmos system expanded to 11.2 via the Denon POA-3014, the picture and sound hit simultaneously the way a real theater does — except you control the volume, the temperature, and the snack situation.

"The best part isn't the movie. It's the three of us in the dark, arguing about what to watch next — knowing we'll probably watch two anyway."
