I will not approve any prospective rezoning of the Kips Bay AMC 15 site without the inclusion of a cinema.

Kips Bay deserves a say in its future and that future must include a movie theater and grocery store.

"AMC Theatres does not want to go. Not one little bit. #AMCTheatres wants to stay in Kips Bay."

RETAIN KIPS BAY!!! @NYCMayor

[Variety @Variety]

AMC CEO Adam Aron says that New York City’s popular AMC Kips Bay 15 movie theater, which will shutter on Jan. 3, "wants to stay," but NYU Langone "wants us gone":

“Unfortunately, the decision to retain or end AMC’s tenure in Kips Bay is not ours to make. The nearby NYU Langone Health facility wants to expand, seems to be in the process of buying the building in which your (our) theatre now operates, and it wants us gone. In anticipation of such a transfer to NYU Langone, the current building’s owner has terminated our lease,” Aron writes. “We have engaged with NYU Langone, suggesting any number of alternatives — including that it enlarge the current low-rise building to satisfy its desires for a growth of its medical facility but also leaving a theatre in place for you. Or alternatively, we offered that our theatre could get smaller, so that at the very least we could leave something remaining in place to continue to serve you. Sadly, any and all variations that we have proposed have fallen on closed minds.”

I went into Digger expecting another climate sermon.

Then Iñárritu turned the joke on the jesters.

Tom Cruise is magnificent. The film is stranger, smarter, and more subversive than its critics realize.

[Cinema Tweets @CinemaTweets1]

Digger (🌟🌟🌟🌟) is still on my mind. I still think this film deserves Oscar consideration in a few months from @TheAcademy, including & especially Tom Cruise. 2026 has been a loaded year for film & we still have at least 3-5 more major releases left to go this year but I think there has to be room for Digger in the Best Picture conversation.

[NY State Senator Kristen Gonzalez @SenGonzalezNY]

Thank you @CEOAdam for speaking out about AMC's commitment to the Kips Bay community. This theater is a beloved institution, and I know we can find a path forward to keep it in the neighborhood. It's time for @nyulangone to come to the table.

[Adam Aron @CEOAdam]

@SenGonzalezNY @nyulangone Thank YOU Senator Gonzalez for your efforts!

At my urging, AMC’s CEO has weighed in to make clear: they want to continue operating a movie theater in Kips Bay.

Any proposed rezoning must deliver what this neighborhood needs: a movie theater, a supermarket, and housing.

Kips Bay deserves all three, and I’ll fight to make it happen.

An Open Letter to the Kips Bay Community About the Future of AMC Kips Bay 15 in New York City

“AMC Does Not Want to Go. We Want to Stay.”

——-/////——-/////——-

It isn’t true that New Yorkers can be prevented from having your cake and eating it too. Indeed you can. But only if people of goodwill think out of the box a bit. After all, the ubiquitous proverb “where there is a will, there is a way” is one that is believed to have first been published in the year 1640 — that’s three hundred eighty six years back to be precise. 

Speaking of people of goodwill, I especially want to express gratitude to Manhattan Borough President Brad Hoylman-Sigal and New York State Assembly Member Keith Powers, for their leadership and tireless advocacy on this matter. Reinforcing and speaking for the local community’s clear desire, they have energetically brought attention to the importance of keeping an AMC movie theatre open and operating in Kips Bay.

In summary, this is a theatre that you in Kips Bay want to continue to be at your beck and call, and one that we at AMC unequivocally also want to be allowed to continue within our theatrical fleet.  

But time is short. Unless NYU Langone Health lets us delight the Kips Bay community beyond then, to comply with our terminated lease, the lights on AMC Kips Bay 15 will forevermore see their final sunset on January 3, a mere two and a half months from now. 

Hopefully, there is an outcome in which a wise workable solution is devised, one that will benefit and please the entire neighborhood. What say you NYU Langone Health?

Whatever happens, I want you to know how much AMC appreciates your support, your efforts and your voice. We are proud to have been part of the Kips Bay community since 1999, and I sincerely hope that we can continue to be part of it for years to come.

Sincerely,

Adam Aron

LOOKS LIKE ITS GOING TO BE A "CLAYFACE* WEEKEND AT #AMC THEATERS 🎬🦍📈

[DiggerCrave 🧡🪏 @CruiseCrave]

To be honest I think Sophie Wilde is brilliant in Digger and I would not be mad at a Supporting Actress push for her at all. Incredible performance that stands out in a film full of all time great actors doing all time great stuff.

Some writers create characters. 📖 Patricia Highsmith creates killers. 🔪 Helen Mirren stars as the Ripley series author alongside Alden Ehrenreich and Olivia Cooke in A TALENT FOR MURDER. Get tickets and see it now in AMC Theatres! https://t.co/FfcY6rJW9z

$AMC gets a price target upgrade, yet trades red while CNK and IMAX are green. 😂 Make it make sense! I see the disconnect, and I’m still buying
