Colon Theatre, Movie theater in Upper West Side, Manhattan, US

The Colon Theatre was a movie house in the Upper West Side that once held approximately 600 seats and showed films in a traditional setting. The venue served the local neighborhood with regular screenings for residents and visitors.

The building opened in 1937 as the Schuyler Theatre and later passed through multiple operators including Brandt Theaters and Harris Theatrical Enterprises. These transitions marked the venue's evolution over several decades.

The theater developed a focus on Spanish-language films, reflecting the viewing interests of many residents in the city. This programming choice shaped how the venue served its surrounding community over time.

The former theater is no longer operating as a movie house, so visitors cannot attend film screenings there anymore. Anyone interested in the location should check its current use before planning a visit.

The building now operates as a supermarket, having completely shifted from its original role as an entertainment venue. This transformation reflects how neighborhood needs and building uses change over the years.
