New York real estate developer the Durst Organization wants $48 million in unpaid rent and damages from Landmark Theatres’ now-closed Upper West Side Manhattan 57 West Theater. The company also claims that, since announcing its permanent closure last August, Landmark removed 700 seats along with light fixtures and ticket kiosks.
Durst continues to show the space to prospective tenants. Said spokesman Jordan Barowitz, “We are still showing the space — minus the stuff they stole.”
On July 7, Durst entered a request for summary judgment in its suit against Landmark holding company Silver Cinemas Acquisition. Summary judgment means a party to the case asks that the facts they claim be adjudicated without a trial.
Landmark announced it would permanently close the three-year-old theater after it couldn’t come to terms with Durst on renegotiating their 30-year lease. Landmark showed steady improvement in grosses after its 2017 opening, particularly after the prime Lincoln Plaza Theater closed late that year.
