Please update, the three additional screens which theatres 2, 3 and 7 were split in half. General Cinema made those theatres half the size. The only thing AMC did, a couple of years ago, they put recliners the theatre. The seating capacity when the theatre open was theatre 1. 472 with THX, 2 and 3 were 450, 4 was 293, 5 and 6 was 233, 7 was 450, 8 was 458 and 9 and 10 were 182. When General Cinema destroyed theatres 2, 3 and 7 to add more screens, 2 had 157, 3 was 150, 7 was 150. Theatres 11 were 107 and 12 and 13 122. To reach the new screens, their were short hallways to enter.

With the theatre being very busy, General Cinema did the expansion in the early 1990s.

The new capacity with the recliners are: 1. 186 2. 84 3. 79 4. 113 5. 113 6. 113 7. 84 8. 186 9. 77 10. 77 11. 37 12. 47 13. 44

Much work has been done by AMC here. That cover photo of the chair should be replaced by one of the theatre itself! BTW, those red seats have all been replaced. I was actually there yesterday (hadn’t been in a while). Very pleasantly surprised. I’ll try to get updated photos next time I go.

Following the closure of Concourse Plaza Multiplex Cinemas, this is now the only open movie theater in The Bronx. A place of 1.4 million people left to a single 13-plex AMC theater. A sad state of affairs, but hopefully that number doesn’t become zero.

Only one open movie theater! When I lived in the Bronx (‘63 to '70) I counted ten theaters I could walk to from my apartment. And this was after many theaters had already closed due to falling attendance.
