The Quad Cinema closed for renovations back on May 1.
EVG reader Michael Alex shared this photo showing the current state of the 43-year-old theater on East 13th Street between Fifth Avenue and Sixth Avenue…
Real-estate developer Charles S. Cohen, a well-known film buff, bought the theater last summer.
"New York City has perhaps the greatest concentration of serious cinema lovers in the country," said Cohen in a statement published by Indiewire, "but for too long, these great, knowledgeable fans have had few places to see classic and important films on the big screen. The always-vital Quad Cinema will now become an even more important destination for classic films and compelling new ones – and the moviegoers who love them."
The Quad website says the theater will return in the fall.

Now playing at the Quad Cinema: Closed for Renovations
Closed for renovation… Never heard THAT one before.
ReplyDeleteThe Quad needed to be renovated. Not great theaters because the screens were so tiny. That's what happens when 4 theaters are squeezed into a small space. I'm happy that a film buff like C Cohen has taken over the Quad, but if the layout of the space remains as is, a quad, the tiny screens problem will remain.
