Booth hallway
The neat thing about a modern, multiplex's projection booth is that it is huge AND quite comfortable.
One might think each theater house has a little, dark, closet-sized room at the top with a projector and spiders dangling from the ceiling. Quite the contrary...
This booth is exactly the same size, shape, and dimension as the lower (public) level hallways and entryways - it mirrors the theater level.
It has 17 projectors, two restrooms, a drinking fountain, a separate office and storage, climate and lighting control, work desks for building and tearing down films, and access to power and sound systems. It's quite remarkable.
It's all low-light conditions during times when films are playing in those sections of hallways. However, it's still bright enough where one could read start and stop times on printouts, and see from end-to-end. It's a bit noisy with all the fans and projectors running, plus hearing localized sound from each project's reference speaker, but all in all it's a world all its own up there.
