The Big Apple Theater

From The Grindhouse Cinema Database

The Big Apple Theater was located at 1482 Broadway in NYC. Its other names included the New York Theatre, The Globe, Cine 43, Cine 1 & 2. The New York Theatre first opened April 19, 1940 as a newsreel theatre, but was soon showing Hollywood revivals and occasional first-runs. In 1957, when Brandt sold the nearby original Globe Theatre for conversion back into a playhouse (as the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre), the New York Theatre was re-named the Globe Theatre on May 22, 1958. From May 28, 1982 until March 1983 it operated as Cine 43. In March 1983 it was twinned and became known as Nuevo Cine 1 and 2 with seating for 340 & 360. It later became The Big Apple Theater.
