Paris theater
The Paris Theater is the borough’s largest movie theater, with 535 seats. Built by the Pathé as a showcase for their films, the elegant theater opened in September 1948 with its distinctive Arte Moderne style and became a premier venue for the best films from around the world. Over the years, hits such as A Man and a Woman, Romeo and Juliet, Monsoon Wedding, Metropolitan, A Room With a View, and Belle de Jour were introduced to the United States with a theatrical run at the Paris.
Netflix now operates the theater, giving new life to a landmark of New York moviegoing since November 2019. The Paris is the studio’s New York flagship theater for exclusive theatrical engagements, premieres, special events, retrospectives, and filmmaker appearances, and is programmed year-round with a wide range of screenings & discussions.-
