Variety can report that the AMC Kips Bay 15, the movie theater chain’s second-largest multiplex in Manhattan, will close at the end of the year. “We expect that AMC Kips Bay 15 will continue operating until the end of 2026, at which time the theatre will close following the property owner’s decision to exercise its contractual right to terminate the theatre’s lease before its scheduled expiration,” an AMC spokesperson told Variety.
