This was my least favorite theater in Times Square; I wish Cinema Treasures had been around from the late 70s to the late 90s, then I may have appreciated this house a lot more than I did.
I was thinking about you, Ed, when I drove by yesterday and wondering what in the world is going on; the blade seems to be gone but it’s hard to get a good look through all the scaffolding wrappings, etc.
You can see from the second photo ever posted on this thread, that the screen was hardly wall-to-wall.
Two new photos added
Wags have called this picture a mile wide and an inch deep…!
Not sure if they are the owners, or the lessees.
A 15 minute walk! That’s like getting off at 34th St. and walking to 49th St. to go to a movie.
I hope the locals support this house because I don’t think it’s going to be a destination site.
Bad news
Big Joe, you used to be so humble, it looks like you finally grew a pair…
However, this particular multiplex has all the charm of a bus station.
Please don’t forget the poor neglected step-child Trans-Lux East aka Penthouse (Caligula!) and then the Gotham …
And yet the Alamo chain, who act like cinema-maniacs, seem to make the dining experience work.
How…odd.
According to their website, the wax museum is still located at 234 W. 42nd Street.
If they don’t own the site and had a 25 year lease, I bet the renewal rent has gone through the roof.
Any news on this house?
I wonder if the state attorney general is that interested in this matter, especially since she currently has bigger fish to fry…
Once the new management dropped the Hedda Lettuce classic film series, the Chelsea cinemas was dead to me.

Because they’re not thinking with their big head…
Plenty of empty seats at every showing!
Isn’t that the Loew’s State marquee? (Pre-modernization)
And what a glorious movie! It must have been really eye-popping on the big screen.
Such a dignified ad for such a madcap production.

And why in the world they ever take down those blade letters, this place sure looks like a dump compared to the new Regal a few blocks away
