In October, Buildings Deportment documents revealed that a 14-screen movie theater would be part of the big Essex Crossing project on Delancey Street. Now developers of the nearly 2-million square foot mixed use complex tell Crain’s the operator of the theater will be Regal Cinemas.
The theaters will be located in a 24-story building at the southeast corner of Delancey and Essex streets. The 65,000 square foot facility will be just above a new Essex Street Market. It’s a 15-year lease. Regal Cinemas already runs the multi-screen theaters at Union Square and at Battery Park City.
Rohan Mehra, of the Prusik Group (the firm handling retail leasing at Essex Crossing) told Crain’s the theater would be the largest in Lower Manhattan. “We feel that this is going to be a theater that draws people to this project,” he said. :You need entertainment in any kind of well-curated mixed-use development.”

Kurt Bensmiller called Thursday a “horrible day” for chuckwagon racing.
Another driver who preferred to remain anonymous said: “There will never be chuckwagons run at Stampede again.”
Earlier in the day, the Calgary Stampede formally announced that the annual Rangeland Derby would not happen in 2021. It’s the second year in a row that the most lucrative competition in chuckwagon racing was cancelled.
Officially, the Stampede cited safety concerns as the primary reason for the cancellation. COVID-19 protocols had already forced the cancellation of races in Grande Prairie, Medicine Hat, Bonnyville and Saskatoon, and the Stampede said without those events building up the fitness of the teams prior to the big Calgary event, it was better for the long-term continuation of the sport to cancel.

Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi made himself available to reporters this morning and gave his reaction to the province’s ambitious reopening plan unveiled on Wednesday.
While Nenshi said he is “very happy” to see a reopening plan, he added that Albertans “have to earn these easing of restrictions.”
Nenshi also said that just because public health restrictions could be lifted in time for Stampede, it doesn’t mean complete business as usual. A lot of the events will look different and there will be extra safety precautions for attendees, volunteers and staff.
