A long-running New York City movie theater, AMC Kips Bay, will shut its doors permanently after nearly three decades of operation, with its closure announced just days before the final screening. The theater’s CEO cited a dispute with NYU Langone Health, the institution leasing the space, as the primary reason for the decision, claiming the landlord has repeatedly obstructed efforts to continue operations. Despite AMC’s stated intention to remain in the area, negotiations have reportedly broken down, leaving the future of the venue uncertain. The closure marks the end of an era for a beloved cultural landmark in Manhattan.
