Clearview Cinema: A Brief History of a Beloved New York City Theater

In 1998, the Clearview Cinemas took over the management of the facility after Cineplex Odeon's divestiture of 13 houses throughout Manhattan. The theater was remodeled in late-2014 with new extra wide rocking chairs and reserved seating, offering moviegoers a more comfortable viewing experience.

The theater has a long history dating back to July 14, 1989, when Cineplex Odeon unveiled Manhattan's then-largest multiplex on the site where Cavanagh's Irish Steak and Ale House stood from 1876 until 1971. The original six auditoriums opened with films such as 'Do the Right Thing', 'Weekend at Bernie's', and 'Lethal Weapon 2' in 70mm.

The final three auditoriums of the $15 million facility opened later that year, providing even more opportunities for movie enthusiasts to enjoy their favorite films. Unfortunately, the theater you are searching for is no longer operating.

Despite its closure, Clearview Cinema remains a beloved institution in New York City's film scene. Moviegoers can still experience the magic of the cinema at other AMC Dine-in Clearview Palace 12 locations, including Metairie.

For those looking to catch the latest blockbuster or indie release, movie theater information and online movie tickets are available on the website. Don't miss out on upcoming films like 'Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé', which hits theaters on November 30th.

Whether you're a film enthusiast or just looking for a fun night out with friends, Clearview Cinema's legacy lives on in the hearts of New Yorkers and movie lovers alike.
