Does anyone know an online source that lists BY SCREEN what movies are playing at this theater? I hate showing up and then learning that my movie is playing on the dinkiest screen in the theater. The NYT prints this info in its weekend edition, but you can’t find it online.
Kip’s Bay has the WORST quality control in it’s projection in any major theater. This is the closest theater to my home, and I would probably go there a lot more often than I do if anyone gave a crap about the quality of the image and sound. It’s always something, focus, framing, brightness….they really do not care. I saw SUPERMAN RETURNS over the summer (digitally projected), and the image was so dark that in several nighttime scenes, the screen was completely black. My complaints were met with shoulder shrugs from the employees. This place has the potential to be the best multi-screen house in the city, but I guess they’re making enough money with the apathetic way they run their business. It’s a shame.
Went to see POSEIDON today, because it was being digitally projected and only at this location. To my disappointment, I discovered that they instead projected a print. It was obvious after I noticed film rolling out of the projector. When I told guest services they didn’t believe me, even though I told them I was in the film industry. Has anyone had this fraud perpetrated on them at Kips Bay?
Only go to see a movie here in houses 7, 8, 9 and 10.
You have been warned ;–)
I’m surprised to hear that this theatre is doing so well. I’ve never actually attended a movie here because whatever playing here is usually closer to where I am at that moment. And that is Kipps Bay’s problem. It is over on Second Avenue two long blocks from the Lexington Avenue subway.
It is; it’s on the exact location of the original Kips Bay Theatre/Bay Cinema. Where the theatre itself stood is where the lobby of the Loews Kips Bay currently stands.
Is this on the site of the original Kips Bay Theatre I remember from the 50s & 60s?
I was the Managing Director who opened this theatre—it’s a great neighborhood theatre spanning two city blocks! Theatre 10 boasts the largest screen (non-IMAX) in Manhattan – 68', and 676 seats in that house!
