Theaters for sale

Does anyone know if there are any theaters in the NYC area for sale? I am doing a project where we have to "spend" 10 million dollars and I thought it would be fun to "purchase" a theater...but I have absolutely no idea how much that would cost. Any help would be splendid.

If its theoretical, why don;t you buy the theater from someone. Say, the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre (formerly Plymouth) and rename it. Seriously...yuck!

Probably the old Loews Mayfair a/k/a Demille diagonally across the street from TKTS . The theater is the one with the corner billboards on it . It may be too big but what is left of it I do not know. It may be scheduled for demolition. It is prime property & has been vacant for too long

If I had money, I would renovate it & reopen it & show all widescreen movies & film festivals

Good luck

Not a clue in the world

Something tells me for $ 10 million you could lease the theater for a period of years ( assuming it is not scheduled for demolition) & than renovate it (use volunteers as it is cheaper for the non tecnical things like cleaning & painting)

---

The Mayfair could be leased ( doubt you could afford to buy it) It would be cheaper than the Hellinger as the Hellinger was a working theater when sold whereas the mayfair would need a fair amount of repair

---

At the very least 5 billion.

You might be able to afford to buy a 200-300 seat Off-Broadway space, though, mind you keeping it filled with shows will be a struggle since so few things run very long anymore Off-Broadway.

A Broadway theatre would cost you well into the tens of millions. Just doing a renovation of a long closed Broadway house would be well out of your budget -- it cost $35 million to renovate the Biltmore and $34 million to bring back the new Amsterdam.
