Kips Bay AMC Faces Closure Fears After NYU Purchase, Sparking Community Rally

New Yorkers protested outside the AMC Kips Bay theater after NYU Langone privately bought the site, raising fears the landmark venue could be redeveloped and reduce a cherished community gathering space. Protest organizers want AMC and NYU to engage with residents, while NYU says the sale is under contract and intended to support future healthcare needs; the theater’s fate highlights tensions over big-neighborhood partnerships and access to arts spaces in a changing Manhattan.

AMC Bets on Indies with Leawood Films to Expand Theatrical Releases

AMC Bets on Indies with Leawood Films to Expand Theatrical Releases

AMC Theatres announced Leawood Films, an indie distribution label advised by Toby Emmerich, Ricky Strauss, and Kyle Davies, designed to back films fully financed by their filmmakers or already completed works and bring them to theaters using AMC’s exhibition, marketing, and distribution strengths. Davies will pilot the label as a full-time employee, with Emmerich and Strauss serving as consultants. The venture, named after AMC’s Kansas headquarters, is meant to be additive rather than competitive with AMC’s existing studio/distribution relationships, and it will likely pursue titles at film festivals; Davies is exiting his post at Bleecker Street to join Leawood. The move comes as the domestic box office shows signs of revival, though it’s unclear whether AMC will fund its own marketing for Leawood titles.

NYC’s AMC Kips Bay to Close Doors by End of 2026

Paramount Proposes 30-Film-Year Theater Pact Ahead of WBD Merger Ruling

Paramount is reportedly pushing theater partners (with Regal and possibly AMC) to sign deals for about 30 films per year over three years, tied to a 45-day exclusive theatrical window and a 90-day streaming window. The moves aim to reassure exhibitors amid antitrust scrutiny of Paramount’s Warner Bros. Discovery merger, with penalties for breaches and potential consent decrees discussed. Cinema United opposes the merger, warning it could reduce film output and cost jobs. The antitrust case heads to trial in March 2027, and Paramount’s 2027–2028 film slate is cited alongside Warner Bros.’ figures in the discussion.

AMC CEO Bets on Paramount-Warner Merger to Power Theaters' Comeback

AMC Entertainment CEO Adam Aron argues in a Variety op-ed that a Paramount-Warner Bros. Discovery merger would strengthen theaters by delivering more films and longer exclusive windows, including a plan to release at least 30 films a year with 45-day premium VOD and 90-day exclusive SVOD windows. He cites Paramount’s recent uptick in releases, urges regulators to approve the deal to sustain the theatrical comeback, and contends a block would harm the industry’s momentum and exhibitors’ leverage in negotiating terms with studios.
