Located on W. 57th Street between 11th Avenue and 12th Avenue in the Hell’s Kitchen (now known as Clinton) district. The Landmark at 57 West was opened by Landmark Theatres on September 15, 2017.

To echo bigjoe, who the hell is going all the way to the West Side Highway to see a movie for $18.50, with no bargain matinee prices, that they can see anywhere else in town for half the price…?
And no masking, to boot…!
Easy. The hundreds of thousands of us who live in Hudson Yards, Hells kitchen and Lincoln Center who don’t want to go to The Village to see a movie when The Empire, 34th Street, and Regal E-walk are all showing the same ten super hero comic movies on every screen.
While I agree that the tickets are expensive, the people that theater is going to attract are those who paid multi-million dollars for their apartments or are renting apartments for $5000 a month. I don’t think they’re too worried about an $18.50 movie ticket. Besides, the entire place has only 558 seats. The theaters are 19, 22, 25, 34, 48, 75, 164 and 171 seats. Shouldn’t be too hard to fill.
Ugh
The no masking is annoying (even if Kips Bay and some other theaters are the same), but I love this theater otherwise. Great seating, projection (this is the highlight every screen is laser projection and looks noticeably better), sound, and concessions menu. I also think their film selection has improved now with the closing of Lincoln Plaza and the Sunshine.
But there must be huge attendance issues, probably cause of location (though personally I don’t mind the walk from the Carnegie Hall subway stop) or marketing. I’ve been there around 7 times now and never had a near full screening and twice I was the only person there.
Is it the best indie multiplex ever? The Angelika is showing its age and IFC Center is struggling…
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)
Amazon might buy this theater and others if it acquires landmark from Mark Cuban .
Hello-
has patronage at this theater picked up? the last time I was there there were more staff than patrons.
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.
