Loews opened this multi-level complex on May 24, 1991 on the site of a rather ornate one-story parking garage that had been built in 1868 as headquarters for the NYC Department of Public Charities and Corrections. With funkier offerings at other East Village theaters such as the Village East and Cinema Village, Loews opened this multiplex with more mainstream fare in mind for a gentrifying neighborhood.
The seven auditoriums with 1,952-seats are scattered on multiple levels, with large rooms in the cellar, First and third floor (the second floor skipped for lobby space, restrooms and a projection room) and two smaller rooms apiece on the fifth and sixth floors. The seating is conventional, rather than the stadium-style that would come into vogue in the late-1990’s.

The Loews Village VII was among just eleven theaters in the United States that installed the then-new Dolby Digital sound system for their engagement of “Batman Returns” which opened twenty-five years ago today. And here’s the link to a retrospective article that commemorates the occasion.
Theater is now called AMC Village 7.
Auditorium #3 used to also be THX certified, I wonder if this was the same one they installed Dolby Digital sound in?
Yes. The Dolby digital was soon retired when the digital projection equipment was installed.
Page name of this theater should be changed to AMC Village 7.
Dolby Digital is a sound processor used in a lot of movie theatres
Please update, theatre open May 24, 1991
Total seats 510 seats
No masking for scope on the small screens (4-7) and no masking for flat on the “big” screens (1-3) Modern movie going: recreating the home experience, just bigger.
Same situation at Kips Bay and Union Square. It’s shameful.
It is MovieguyNYC. I heard Cinemark is doing the same thing.
