Hello-
to stevenj thanks for your reply. if your description of how it would work is accurate i should think it would be SUPER ANNOYING for people not ordering food.
At CC’s link above the menu has a “How It Works” link (to order food) - you whip out your cellphone and text it to the kitchen for “a seamless uninterrupted viewing experience”. Except for the people sitting around you when their phone screen lights up and then the “ninjas” walk or scurry like rats past you to deliver the food. This may be the enjoyable movie going experience for some but this is the kind of theatre I would avoid.
Hello-
I’m not sure exactly what options are involved in a “dine-in” experience but you want to bet the food will be wayyyyyyyyyyy overpriced.
Maybe as a dine in cinema it will be a better fit'
Hello-
whichever theater chain operates this theater will run into the same problems Landmark did.
Please update Look Dine In Cinemas 57 West, theatre is renovating schedule to open this summer.
Latest press release from Look Dine-In Cinemas, which will re-open the site this summer with eight screens, can be viewed here
No worries! You’re welcome!
Now I get it! Thanks for the update!
VIA57 is the name of the building. LOOK Dine-In Cinemas is in talks to reopen the former Landmark at 57 West, which has remained vacant since closing: https://w42st.com/post/exclusive-movie-theater-at-via57-comes-back-with-look-cinemas-screen-and-dine-combo/
Since 2021, it is now a VIA 57th & West furniture/rental showroom.
Hello-
I would love to know why the big wigs at Landmark Theaters
decided to build a theater soooooooo far west. I mean when
you exit the theater walk a few feet to your right and you’re
in the middle of the West Side Highway.
I would think maybe Regal or AMC would reopen it if it’s still intact
It was way too far west and a bit of a walk from the nearest subway stop. THere was a bus stop about a block away.
Hello-
I went here twice in the first year and on both occasions the staff outnumbered the patrons. I really liked the up to date sound and projection facilities. as I stated previously even if the pandemic had not happened this theater was on shaky ground.
It’s unbelievable that this theater was open less than 3 years. Is it still intact as a theater.

Please update, theatre closed March 16, 2020 when covid shut down the theatres. Landmark announced in August it wouldn’t reopen
Hello-
while I liked the theater(sate of the art sound and projection) and its modern decor I had a feeling it wasn’t going to last long. even if the Covid shutdown hadn’t happened I bet they would have been financially on shaky ground anyway.
also to xbs2034’s 11/19/20 post. considering how small many of the auditoriums are its not hard for even a mildly received film to sell out.
please update sadly closed permanently

This location will not reopen, as Landmark and the landlord could not agree on a lease renegotiation.
Bigjoe59- when did you last go here, the attendance has definitely picked up from the very slow first few months, though I’d still say it tends to be on the lighter side. Interestingly, it looks like basically all shows of The Irishman this weekend have sold out, I don’t think I have really seen sell outs here before other than special events.
Hello-
has patronage at this theater picked up? the last time I was there there were more staff than patrons.
Amazon might buy this theater and others if it acquires landmark from Mark Cuban .
Nice place but avoid screen #6 for subtitled movies. Only 3 rows, large screen which means you have a choice: keep your head up and watch the movie or crank your head down and read subtitles. Impossible to do both. Could not enjoy the movie (Bye, Bye, Germany)
