It’s showtime for Mark Cuban’s Landmark Theatres, which will open a 30, 000-square-foot cinema at Durst’s Via 57 West, its pyramid-shaped rental tower in Midtown West.
The national chain, owned by Cuban and Todd Wagner, plans to have an eight-screen theater up and running by spring of 2017, the Wall Street Journal reported. Outfitted with leather electronic reclining seats, laser projection technology and a full bar made from Italian marble, the theater will also be available for post-screening parties and other events.
