Woody Allen’s acclaimed, French-language drama Coup de Chance<\/strong><\/em> sold out all its prime time shows last weekend — the most exciting, gratifying weekend we’ve had at New Plaza Cinema since the\u00a0premiere of Bill Nighy in Living <\/em>during\u00a0the 2022 holiday season.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n We’re very grateful to our hardworking theatre staff and volunteer ushers, as well as our partners at CUNY’s Macaulay Honors College, the film’s maverick distributor MPI Media, and our friends at Sawyer Studios who design and place those Friday NY Times<\/em>\u00a0ads many of you read every week. This was truly a team effort.\u00a0<\/p>\n Coup de Chance <\/strong><\/em>will play four more prime time shows this weekend. As always we recommend early, online ticket purchases, and please keep an eye on our ongoing social media action on Facebook<\/a>, Instagram<\/a>, and X \/ Twitter<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n Several films will be back this weekend following brief hiatuses — Remembering Gene Wilder<\/em><\/strong>, a fitting reprise after last weekend’s uproarious screening of Blazing Saddles,\u00a0<\/em>the Mexican Oscar-shortlisted drama Totem<\/strong><\/em>, and the rockumentary Heaven Stood Still: The Incarnations of Willy DeVille<\/em><\/strong>. That film is sold out and — at least for Saturday’s show — there won’t be a standby line, but it will be back for two more screenings next weekend.\u00a0<\/p>\n Encoring will be Wim Wenders’ Perfect Days<\/em><\/strong> and Daniel Auteuil in Farewell Mr. Haffman<\/em><\/strong> (the latter with two showings). On hiatus will be The Taste of Things<\/em> with Juliette Binoche and the Israeli Kiss Me Kosher<\/em>, whose articulate American star John Carroll Lynch will return for another Q&A on Sunday, April 28.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n And as we strive to do regularly, we have two new titles on the program:\u00a0<\/p>\n
