NYC’s Paris Theater To Reopen in September With Dolby Atmos System and 70mm Screenings
Playtime After a brief closure this summer, New York City’s Paris Theater reopens in September with a newly-installed Dolby Atmos sound system (making the 500-seat Paris Theater the largest Dolby cinema in Manhattan) and, for the first time in 15 years, a series of 70mm screenings.
Highlights include the first U.S. 70mm screening of Jacques Tati’s Playtime in 10 years; the first NYC 70mm screening of Ron Fricke’s Baraka in 10 years; the U.S. premiere of Apichatpong Weerasethakul’s Memoria in Dolby Atmos; a screening of William Friedkin’s excellent Sorcerer as a tribute to the recently deceased director; and the first NYC screening in a decade of Sam Jones’s doc I Am Trying To Break Your Heart: A Film About Wilco.
Find the full lineup for Paris’s Big & Loud comeback series, screening from September 1-9, below. For more information about tickets (some of which are selling fast!), check out the theater’s official website.
