With only two showings a night, do they really expect this place to break even?

As of right now, it looks like around the end of the year as dave-bronx posted. I’ll post date as soon as I get more info.
Loews has to be losing money on it, so why not just close it and pay out the rent for the remainder of the lease?
It is slated to close by the end of the year…
Do you know when the lease is scheduled to run out, William?
Once the lease is up on this theatre, Loews is going to drop it. This theatre had a screening of the new film “Domino”, and they damaged the brand new print. Because I got the print the next morning after the screening and reported it to New Line. They told me it played last night at the State.
The theatre is a evening house during the week.

Interesting booking “James and The Giant Peach” from 1996 is currently at the State! Is it about to close?
This is the Times Square Theatre they should try to save! Polite workers, clean auditoriums, excellent sound and projection, yet from the outside it looks closed and even only has outdated movie posters outside the box office! POOR MANAGEMENT here but even worse at the E walk!
Check out this all-hit line-up. No wonder this place is ready to become a Dunkin' Donuts, or whatever.

DARK WATER SHOWS FOR 2 WEEKS!!!!
I was in the Virgin Time Sqare store this past Sunday. Virgin seems to be slowly moving out of the lower level that they share with the Loews State 4. I wonder if this is to allow the whole lower level to be taken over by some other use, maybe another theme eating place. Th eonly problem with this level and the theater was ther does not appear to be another entrance other than through the Virgin store.

I know Richard Brown, who teaches of those film classes affiliated with the New School or NYU, held his classes at the State. I don’t know if he still does.
This is not the first time the Loews State 4 was leased out. Several years back they leased it to (the now defunct) The Shooting Gallery to screen their films.
If anyone wants to know what kind of business Loews State is doing, look at the facts.
Batman Begins opened on Wednesday June 15th. Batman Begins played its final day if I am not mistaken this past Thursday July 7th.
That is about three weeks. That is a very short engagement for such a film.
This week is “Dark Water†Loews has again a three-week agreement with Touchstone Pictures.
It is also a sad day when you make more profit leasing screens on a more or less permit bases to groups for Bollywood films.
Madagascar also had only a three or four week run at the State.
Loews leases out the screens booked with Bollywood product. As for the day-and-date releases with the E-Walk, the studios don’t quibble as the extra screen at the State allows for carryover audiences, much as the double-bookings at the Astor Plaza did and the State isn’t a threat to the grosses at the E-Walk. The Astor Plaza, meanwhile, had the benefit of being a prestige house which drew loyal audiences and the studios, as a result, eventually saw the opportunity to have their films booked there also as a welcomed bonus.
God help us if it’s UA-Regal they might as well just close them up now.
As in other mergers, AMC will not be able to keep all the theaters. There is no way (anti trust laws) they will allow them to run the Empire and E Walk on 42nd. I expect to see probibly Clearview Cinemas or Regal to get some of Loews theaters in the merger.
Is it possible that an outside organization is leasing screens at this theatre to show Bollywood films, and doing their own publicity?
That’s how Indian films are exhibited in the Boston area — the [url]www.BombayCinema.com[/url] folks rent out screens at the Somerville, the Capitol in Arlington, or the Regent in Arlington.
I noticed it last week as well and this theatre is clearly on its last legs. I remember how delighted Sony was when they opened this theatre and they talked about how they were sorry they didn’t build more screens.
People don’t remember, but it was still a fairly risky proposition for the Virgin Store to open that store on Times Square when they did. The store did much better that Virgin expected and I think they actually stayed open later than they planned.
I wonder how the State feels now.
DARK WATER opened there today and three what are no doubt Bollywood films are playing there, DUS, PAHELI and SARKAR. No display ads for the latter three. And DARK WATER is also playing nearby at the E-Walk and it is not often that there is duplication between those two sister cinemas.
And PAHELI is also playing at ImaginAsian. Talk about cutting each other’s throat.
I can’t imagine those Bollywood flicks are drawing unless whoever is programming those theatres is doing intensive outreach to the communities that patronize Bollywood fare.
