City Point answers the shopping needs of a diverse group of buyers who have transformed the borough into the new destination for education, culture, dining, and shopping.
Alamo Drafthouse City Point will have seven screens of new releases, repertory programming and the Alamo's unique signature programming with seating for over 900 moviegoers.
Charter represents Alamo Drafthouse Cinema throughout the eastern half of the U.S. including N.Y., New England, Virginia, Washington D.C., Maryland, North and South Carolina, Georgia and Florida.
Alamo Drafthouse Cinema provides a unique combination of theatre and restaurant, showing first-run movies, independent films and special programming events with an extensive menu. Customers order food and drinks from servers who quietly attend to them throughout the movie.
When purchasing tickets, patrons choose and reserve their seats and are encouraged to arrive early to enjoy the pre-show entertainment. Instead of a barrage of advertising, the Alamo shows a curated collection of rare and humorous clips with tie-ins to the feature film. Additionally, Alamo Drafthouse Cinema protects the theater experience with a zero tolerance policy for people who disrupt the film with talking or texting.
