AMC CEO Adam Aron says that New York City’s popular AMC Kips Bay 15 movie theater, which will shutter on Jan. 3, "wants to stay," but NYU Langone "wants us gone": “Unfortunately, the decision to retain or end AMC’s tenure in Kips Bay is not ours to make. The nearby NYU Langone Health facility wants to expand, seems to be in the process of buying the building in which your (our) theatre now operates, and it wants us gone. In anticipation of such a transfer to NYU Langone, the current building’s owner has terminated our lease,” Aron writes. “We have engaged with NYU Langone, suggesting any number of alternatives — including that it enlarge the current low-rise building to satisfy its desires for a growth of its medical facility but also leaving a theatre in place for you. Or alternatively, we offered that our theatre could get smaller, so that at the very least we could leave something remaining in place to continue to serve you. Sadly, any and all variations that we have proposed have fallen on closed minds.” variety.com/2026/film/news/a…

Zebra stripe gum was so wild you could start chewing it in 1994 and it would run out of flavor in 1988.
