Alalvarez makes a great point I remember when City Cinemas was playing the lowest of the Warner Brothers films in Cinema 1 & 2 because they had a deal to open their films.
I was refering to the fact that a film such as this appeals to such a small percentage of the market and is not geared toward a working class area. Even now it could only fly in a limited booking in Manhattan and a few art houses in the boroughs.
Sad to see it’s not only New York where this happens. In Europe I saw buildings hundreds of years old and in the US we are already replacing things we built in the 60’s.
What is this new annoying trend to not put titles on marquees? The minute AMC took over they put up a generic message on the marquee for Roosevelt Field.

Joseph E Levine was the pioneer of mass bookings, it was almost never that the Trylon, Forest Hills and Drake would day and date.

Even in 1966 it’s shocking for Othello to be playing like this at the Madison, Bushwick and Kenmore.
