I had heretofore missed this Criterion Top 10 by NYC film snob Georgia Hubley, who includes some excellent commentary on theaters past and present ("MOMA, popular dinner spot of many of NYC’s finest moviegoers"):

is the movie theater in Union Square still open? the one that was on the same block/around the corner from Virgin. across the street from Forbidden Planet. I can't remember if it was an AMC or Loews
― flappy bird, Wednesday, 3 April 2019 17:07 (seven years ago)
It is. I never go there bcz of the multiplex prices; I don't think they even have matinee discounts.

I'm pretty sure in '80-81 I saw Truffaut's last two there (The Last Metro, The Woman Next Door). They booked all the Merchant-Ivory films in the '80s and '90s. Last time I was there was for Carol. Always packed in the 75-and-over crowd.

It's hard to believe that Manhattan had only single-screen theaters until 1972, if that factoid is indeed true - supposedly the Quad was the first multi?

A little before my time, but I know of no others. They started dividing the single-screen midtown theaters by the mid '70s.
