NEW YORK, NY — The New York Times is reporting that the Metro Theatre in Manhattan’s Upper West Side will reopen on December 3rd as an independent movie house after several tense months in which its future was the subject of numerous rumors (including that it would be converted into a supermarket).
The theater, operated by Peter Elson (of the famed Embassy theaters), will now be known as Embassy’s New Metro Twin and will cater to foreign and independent films, joining other Upper West Side staples as Lincoln Plaza, the Thalia, and Loews Lincoln Square. Its location, 30 blocks from its chief competitors, will give it some breathing room for bookings.

Why don’t you reopen the Embassy 1,2 3 on broadway. You left them vacant for many years.
I just finishd installing new seats at the theatre. There are also new screens, drapes, sound systems, carpeting,etc. The theatre looks great.
I look forward to it opening,I hope everyone gets behind it,I hear only great things for that theater.It is a great thing for the area.
Opening date is slated for December 3,2004
