Paris Theater


The Paris Theater is where Remember Me had it's world premiere.

The Paris Theater, which is located directly across from the Plaza Hotel and is close to Cental Park, was the first theater in Manhattan that was constructed post-WW2 and is the oldest continuously operating arthouse theater in the United States. It has also been known as the Fine Arts Theater.

The Paris opened to the public on September 13, 1948, with Marlena Dietrich cutting the ribbon, and is currently operated by City Cinemas. The interior style is Art Moderne and is very luxurious. The walls are blue velvet and there is plush seat seating on both the main floor and in the scalloped balcony. The staff is always well attired and helpful.

In addition to hosting premieres, the Paris Theater is known for showing arthouse and foreign films, especially French films.
