The AMC Market Arcade 8 in Buffalo, New York is closing at the end of the year.

According to an article by WIVB (see list below), an AMC spokesperson provided an inspecific statement about the routine evaluation of theaters and making business decisions about each. Our translation is that they looked at the numbers and they didn't come out in favor of keeping it open.

The theater's last day of operation will be December 31, 2025.

Theater History

According to our records, the theater originally opened as the GCC Market Arcade 8 in December 1987 by General Cinema Corporation. Angelika Film Center took over in July 1998, and it was renamed the Angelika Film Center + Cafe. It closed after 11 months. It was then taken over by the non-profit group, Market Arcade Film & Arts Centre, which brought Dipson Theatres in to operate the theater. It closed in June 2014 as the Dipson Market Arcade Film & Arts Centre while being operated by Dipson Theatres.

AMC Entertainment Inc. reopened it in August 2018 as the AMC Market Arcade 8.
