In recent years, New Yorkers have been forced to bid farewell to several beloved movie theaters. Ziegfeld Theater in Midtown, gone. Lincoln Plaza Cinema on the Upper West Side, gone. It wasn’t so out of the ordinary, then, when the decrepit Pavilion theater in Park Slope, Brooklyn, went dark in 2016. Less ordinary, perhaps, is that it won’t be converted into offices or condos, as originally thought, but will reopen as a new and improved cinema: Nitehawk Prospect Park, a boutique multiplex, which after numerous delays is finally opening on Dec. 19.
