Movie theaters are doing what they can to remain a vital part of culture. Major chains are providing dinner and a movie all in one sitting, subscription services, and discounted Tuesday nights. New York is home to some of the best movie going experiences in the country offering a wide variety of blockbusters and classic films.
The movie theater experience has changed in the last 15 years, and movie theater owners are doing what they can to adapt to the current needs of consumers. Oscars nominations have already been announced, and many theaters are re-releasing some of the nominees before the ceremony on March 15th.
