Where is Searching for Mr. Rugoff streaming (ironic that a picture about a theatre operator should be reduced to streaming)?
Please don’t forget the poor neglected step-child Trans-Lux East aka Penthouse (Caligula!) and then the Gotham …
Do plus the 59th St East and the Manhattan Twin plus the 62nd and 3 Cineplex Oden theater
And I left out Loews Tower east
It really is telling and a shame,the upper east side which once boasted Sutton,Baronet/Coronet,Beekman and was a prime destination for cinephiles has only this location left and if it’s redeveloped will have 0 quality screens.
Hello-
to Al A.- I appreciate your diplomatically discreet replies to my post of 7/17. they confirm my suspicion that the parent company is consciously letting this theater once one of the premiere 1st run theaters in Manhattan fall apart so they can close it and sell the building.
Hello-
to Mike(saps)-the photo up top is Cinema 2 not the Cinema 1 which has a much larger screen.
The screen in the opening page photo seems so small, almost like a large screen TV; today that screen should be wall-to-wall.
By the way, bigjoe, the documentary “SEARCHING FOR MR. RUGOFF” is a ‘must-watch’ for Cinema Treasures fans.
I think they are not investing in a property they plan to re-purpose as soon as it becomes feasible. Although a theatre incorporated into the new project may be possible, it is also not likely.
Hello
to Al A.-as always thanks for your reply. now by posting the statement from the parent company’s website is that a discreet way of saying you agree with me that they’re letting the place fall apart so they can close the theater and sell the building?
Bigjoe, I found this on the internet from Reading International;
We own, through our 75% managing member interest, the fee interest in our Cinemas 1,2,3 property in Manhattan. While we are evaluating the potential to redevelop this property as a mixed-use property, these endeavors have been deferred as we deal with the challenges posed by the COVID 19 pandemic. However, located on 3rd avenue, across from Bloomingdales on Manhattan’s Upper Eastside, this property is a prime long-term hold-for-development asset of our Company.
Hello-
I went here yesterday to see Where the Crawdads Sing which I enjoyed but the theater was in rather uneven shape. the escalator is still broken after almost 4 years. there is no reason on God’s green earth the management could possibly come up with that would justify thee escalator being out of service for almost 4 yes 4 years. also the water connection was out so patrons couldn’t use the restrooms and the air conditioning in Cinema 3 wasn’t working properly. I am convinced the Angelika Film Center is consciously not maintaining the theater so they can just shut it down at some point and sell the building.
Kubrick’s A CLOCKWORK ORANGE opened here fifty years ago today
same company Reading Entertainment just rebranded the name
Did Angelika take over all City Cinema theaters?
Just uploaded a bunch of photos of Cinema 1, 2 and 3 with recliners and prior to the installation of the recliners in the photos section. I thought I did them a few years ago, but didn’t realize it wasn’t uploaded.
Trailer for the new 94-minute documentary on the life and times of Donald S. Rugoff can be viewed here
Please Update previous operators as Cinema 5, Cineplex Odeon and City Cinemas
please update name, it now Cinema 123 by Angelika. The City Cinema name is being rebranded by Angelika

Hello-
hdtv267 will probably post a witty sarcastic reply to this post but was the escalator fixed before the movie theater shutdown on Mon. March 16th.? its a simple question.
The theatre hasn’t reopened since March, what see when the time comes.
Hello-
since I believe in free speech I have to accept your slightly curt replies to it seems all of my posts.
to which since having a working escalator is part of good theater management it would be a critique on the uneven degree of proper management at this theater if by the theater shutdown on Mon. March 16th the escalator which had been out of order since Oct. 2018 still hadn’t been mixed.
Hello-
I hate to sound like a broken record but was the escalator
fixed before the NYC movie theater lockdown on March 16th?
as I have stated before it had been out of service since
Oct. of 2018.
