There’s potentially exciting news brewing about the Loew’s Kings theater in Flatbush. An unspecified major theater operator is considering answering the EDC’s longstanding call to redevelop the property, according to Brooklyn Junction. A city official told the blog that the company is holding focus groups to try to determine what sort of programming would work at the theater, which would probably cost between $20 and $40 million to renovate. The EDC issued an RFP for the former wonder theater in September ’06. Any guesses about who the operator is or what its plans may include?

  1. Perhaps, Landmark Theatres. A coorporate chain of theatres that is very popular on the west coast, which shows independent films, and currently only has one theatre in New York, on the lower east side.

  4. But 3:01 was saying NOBODY in Brooklyn goes to theaters, and instead watch everything at home and that’s not true.

    Besides, people get on the train to go to Beacon to see DIA. People go to Astoria to the Museum of the Moving Image. People go to the Bronx to the zoo. The city does not limit all culture only to Manhattan and parts of Brooklyn closer to Manhattan.

  5. Actually BAM has very good attendance, 3:01. All their theater and dance and music performances sell out. There are so many dance troupes and orchestras and theatre groups who need performance space. The calendars get booked years in advance for all the major venues in NYC. I’m sure artists would gladly welcome another place in town, especially something newly renovated.
