The Upper East Side just lost a piece of movie history. Cinema 123 by Angelika , the Third Avenue theater that opened in 1962 as what’s been called the country’s first twin-screen cinema , has permanently closed after 64 years . The three-screen theater at 1001 Third Avenue, between East 59th and East 60th Streets, held its final screenings on Thursday, October 29, and the closure took effect the next day. The farewell notice kept it short, but it ended on a sweet note: “As our final credits roll, we thank you for being part of our story.” 64 years across from Bloomingdale’s The theater debuted in 1962 as Cinema I & II, described by 6sqft as the first twin-screen cinema in the country .
