\n\tAMC Theaters on Monday said it expects that AMC Kips Bay 15, the second biggest multiplex in the exhibitor\u2019s New York City footprint, to close its doors at year\u2019s end.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cWe expect that AMC Kips Bay 15 will continue operating until the end of 2026, at which time the theatre will close following the property owner\u2019s decision to exercise its contractual right to terminate the theatre\u2019s lease before its scheduled expiration,\u201d AMC said in a statement provided to Deadline.<\/p>\n
\n\tNo other details were provided.<\/p>\n
\n\tThe multiplex, in the Murray Hill section of Manhattan on Second Avenue near the East River, opened in 1999, with AMC taking over operations in 2006. It offers the second-most screens in AMC\u2019s Manhattan fleet, behind only the AMC Empire 25 in bustling Times Square.<\/p>\n
\n\tKips Bay 15 was known by some not to be fully kept up, though it still provided solid grosses, per sources. After its closure, NYC denizens can go to either Union Square or 19th St. East 6 AMC locations.<\/p>\n
\n\tPer the AMC website, there are currently nine multiplexes in Manhattan. The northernmost cinema in the city is the AMC Magic Johnson Harlem 9, while the southernmost is the AMC Village 7 on Third Avenue between Washington Square Park and Tompkins Square Park in the East Village.<\/p>\n
\n\tAMC said today that details are being finalized for Kips Bay, with a formal closure date to be announced later, adding that \u201cwe are immensely grateful to our guests for their loyalty and support throughout the years.\u201d<\/p>\n
