Loew's Wonder Theaters

Loew's Wonder Theaters

The Loew's Wonder Theaters were the five flagship Loew's movie palaces of the New York City area in the United States of America. These five lavishly stunning theaters were built by the Loew's theater chain to establish it's dominance of metropolitan New York City. Only one is currently in use as a movie theater; two are currently used as churches, one is vacant, and one recently opened as an entertainment venue.
