East Village theatergoers will soon have one less choice for catching a movie nearby.
The AMC Kips Bay 15 will close at the end of the year, Variety reports. The 15-screen multiplex on Second Avenue at 31st Street is AMC's second-largest theater in Manhattan.
An AMC spokesperson said the closure is "following the property owner's decision to exercise its contractual right to terminate the theatre's lease before its scheduled expiration."
While the Kips Bay programming leans heavily toward the latest Hollywood blockbusters, the theater has often tossed a few indie and specialty releases into the mix — making it a useful alternative to the East Village's movie houses.
The multiplex opened in 1999; AMC took it over in 2006.
