Manhattan’s Paris Theatre has been given a stay of execution. The last prestige single-screen movie house in New York, which closed in August, will become a home for the Noah Baumbach-directed Netflix film Marriage Story when the picture plays theatrical engagements in a handful of theaters in Los Angeles and New York on November 6. That film rolls out wider November 15 before the Scarlett Johansson-Adam Driver divorce tale hits the streaming service December 6.
Is this a one-off, or does it portend a Netflix future for the movie house? Netflix would not comment beyond confirming that Marriage Story will re-open the doors of last great single-screen prestige picture palace in New York, which had shuttered when the City Cinemas lease with real estate magnate Robert Solow expired at the end of August.
