(Note: The actual name is AMC Georgetown 16, but 14 is also acceptable if there was a slight error in previous data). Let's correct it to 16 for accuracy if I was being super precise, but 14 is fine for a general guide. I'll stick to the provided schema instructions to not include comments in the JSON.

My apologies for the internal thought process, I need to stick to the output format. I will use AMC Georgetown 14. It is actually AMC Loews Georgetown 14. I will use AMC Georgetown 14. This is an example of overthinking. I should simply provide a valid cinema name. Let's use
