It’s a flat marquee, Robert, about five years old, and on the front of the building, directly above the theatre entrance.
Is the marquee on the front or the side of the building?
It was a better twin than as a quad. they split the existing twin down the middle. which was already split when making the twin in the first place reducing patrons to seing a movie like they did in the mayfiar theatre downtown(a.ka Embasy 2-3-4) in the balcony theatres through a long tube that rises upward. I don’t know if any of the original remnants of the theatre remain in the other auditoriums I only went to auditorium 2 which is the right half of the old twins theatre 1 the old projection booth remain but was covered up with drapery on the side walls. one good thing they replaced the seats with a more comfortable plush seating. It looked like a patch up job on the ceiling. They also finally removed the big black illuminated sign that read R.K.O. Colisuem sign that hung on the 181st street side
How is this doing as a quad?
God what a bad twin
The orchestra part of the theatre has been gone for eons. RKO and then Cineplex were only using the balcony.
Under Cineplex Odeon, the Coliseum was a twin. (I’m not sure if that encompassed the balcony being divided in half or an orchestra/balcony split.)
It went from Century to almi century to RKO century warner to just RKO to CINEPLEX ODEON
Joe show her this list and see if she remembers, my movie history centurys york mgr,rko commack twin mgr, warner twin ast mgr ,art mgr, national twin and new warner mgr both at the same time and then manhattan south dm Cineplex Odeon.We had many a joke and busted chops with each other and Ken N.

Creative entertainment is old century and rko bookers.
Warren Mr. Nova who also had the Nova Cinemas owns
New Coliseum he also had the New Coliseum in 2002 but closed it and
tried to make ago of his Nova Cinemas. When Nova cinema rent was raised way to high for Mr. Nova he closed the Nova Cinemas,
he than turned to bring back
New Coliseum and did so. Creative Entertainment books for many independent operators in the state of New York including Queen City who owns Ridgewood and Jackson Triplex.
Creative Entertainment is a film booking service, like Lesser Theatres.
The “New Coliseum” re-opened on June 30th. They are currently showing SPIDER-MAN 2, HARRY POTTER 3, and SHREK 2. Their phone numbers are: 212-740-1545 and 212-740-1541. Welcome back Coliseum !!!
RKO is now open again
There are upcoming summer movie posters both inside and out on the theatre. Work is being sone and it look like “opening soon” is soon. But you nevr know. The posters make me hopeful, though.
Rumors about the reopening of the Coliseum have been circulating since October but there was a problem with the installing of the seats. Has anyone actually seen the seats installed?
The old RKO marquee is gone.
