The Empire

From The Grindhouse Cinema Database

The Empire theater was located at 240 W. 42nd Street in NYC. It opened in 1912 as a playhouse and was later converted into a movie theater in 1942. It was closed in 1986. In 1998, the entire main lobby of the building was moved west and a new multiplex theater called the AMC Empire 25 (opened in 2000) was built around it.
