Yikes! The Kings Plaza Cinemas are closed! And what is taking it’s place? A Best Buy! What’s next? Kings Plaza Diner? Maybe they can make that into a Starbucks.
I was catching up on my blog reading yesterday and I’d like to thank Brooklynometry for bumming me out with this news.
Ok, so I haven’t been to Kings Plaza in a while and it’s been YEARS since I’ve seen a movie there. In fact, the last time I did, there were only two large screens. At the time of the closing this year, they were a sixplex.
The last movie I saw there was probably Rocky or something of that era (although I know I saw Rocky on Avenue U). That doesn’t matter. I just liked knowing it was there!

I also saw Rocky at the Avenue U theater (what I remember!).
But I do remember waiting for like two hours on line with my brother to see “Earthquake” in Sensaround!

Earthquake! That was at Kings Plaza? Yeah..and maybe Towering Inferno? I think I saw more movies at Ave U because it was within walking distance, but I definitely hung out at Kings Plaza as a kid!
What’s a mall without a movie theater? I thought that was a must.

Oy…I remember going to King’s Plaza with the family as a kid.
Haven’t been back there in decades, it feels like…

Let’s face it. If you haven’t seen a movie at Kings Plaza for years, multiplying that by hundreds or thousands of people, there is no sense to keep the movie theatre open. How is it supposed to make money and pay their bills, when people see a movie once in 20 years. No wonder the movie closed down after many years in the red.

Oh well. At least there still is the Kings Plaza Diner. Oh, did I tell you that the diner may close to open up a Bed, Bath and Beyond. See you Kings Plaza. Hello Gateway.
