Loews plans Gotham 15-plex
The Loews Kips Bay Theatre, which will be located at Second Avenue and 32nd Street, is scheduled to open in spring 1998. It will have a seating capacity of 3,000.
Kips Bay will be the first multiplex in Manhattan to feature stadium seating in all of its auditoriums. Other amenities include high-backed rocking-chair seats and Sony Dynamic Digital Sound systems.
Loews currently operates 10 locations and 50 screens in Manhattan under the Loews and Sony names. The circuit is also developing a 13-screen multiplex in the E Walk retail and entertainment complex that Tishman Realty & Construction Co. is building at 42nd Street and Eighth Avenue.
The Loews Theatre at E Walk, which is scheduled to open in 1999, is across the street from the site on which AMC Entertainment has plans to build a 24-screen multiplex.
