King's Plaza Mall's Movie Theater in Brooklyn / Whatever Happened To It?

[@StacyDifrancesco]

Yes, it held good memories. I saw Superman in the 1970's and Lion King with my baby in 1992. I remember Joyce Leslie, on the right. Always a real long line on a Friday night.

I saw Jaws in that theater with my friends. Great memories. The movie theater on Nostrand Avenue and Kings Highway used to have $1. days in the summer and would play cartoons and Disney movies. I remember seeing the Apple Dumpling Gang with Don Knotts and Tim Conway. Thank you Sir. Have a nice day.

I miss the Kings Plaza movie theater. I remember seeing so many of the early Marvel films there.

When I used to drive to Kings Plaza I didn't want to deal with the indoor garage so I'd always park around Marine Park where there is tons of free street parking and just walk the 5 or 6 blocks to the mall. The theatres were Ok, but nothing great. But the mall itself was exceptionally good with all kind of different restaurants - fast food,, Nathans, counter restaurants and otherwise. And a huge number of shops not including Macy's and Alexanders (three levels). Last time i stopped by there was a boring Sears but that must be gone now, too. I'm guessing it's long since gone downhill.

I remember the movie theater in Kings Plaza during my childhood! My mom and I loved it and it was great! It’s such a shame that it died. Best Buy is standing in its place now. It’s so weird to know the theater is gone.

[@StacyDifrancesco]

I saw Risky Business with Tom Cruise in 1982 and my friend asked an adult to help get us into an R Rated movie.

[@JoeS795]

I saw so many movies at KP. Had a friend who worked there who used to let us in the back door.

[@jasonroberts2249]

I saw Strictly Business there in ‘91 when I was 13. That was quite the learning experience, when I first discovered that in some theaters people heckle the movie.

I was just a kid when the movie theater was still around in Kings Plaza but for some reason we just never went to it. I really wish I had the chance to see it on the inside

[@LadyL31786]

I’ve been to the KP movie theater since 1998 when I saw “Mulan” for the first time. The last movie I saw at the Kings Plaza movie theater was “Diary of a Mad Black Woman” back in 2005 with my dad. Some other movies I’ve seen there were “Godzilla (1998 version)”, “The Ring”, “The Rugrats Movie”, “The Wild Thornberrys Movie”, “White Chicks”, “Taxi”, “You Got Served”, “Meet the Fockers”, “Like Mike”, “Finding Nemo” and “Christmas with the Kranks”. Can’t lie, the KP movie theater was pretty cool, no BS, no drama. Sorry to hear the theater closed down but the memories will always remain.

Last time I was at the theatre at kings Plaza was to see Armageddon and Con Air back in 1998 or 1999 when those 2 movies came out.

[@TransitjusticeBlogspot]

Now, Best Buy, where the theater used to stand at, is gone too.

[@MGTOWgamer]

I watched Star Wars Episode I in there.

[@quinnhall24]

Wilson’s house of leather / colors of Benetton sterling optical. I saw aliens two upstairs at the theater. Good times oh and Chi Chi’s first floor before you walked out to to where the buses were

[@scottadelstein6319]

Remember going to the tickettron to buy all my concert tickets back in the day.

[@42luke93]

What a shame. Regal is so raggy and overcrowded. This must have been what made it worse. Best Buy took over. They are now gone and made a Target 😭 A part grocery store in shopping mall : /

Clientele?? Oh you mean the blacks! Lol you can just say it. They unfortunately destroyed kings plaza just like they did with Canarsie

[@joehigashi6261]

You CAN say it, but most people are not dumb enough to do that. Wait, except... you? 😆
