The owners of the Austin-based Alamo Drafthouse movie theater chain announced this morning on their blog that their third New York location (Alamos in the UWS and Yonkers are in the works) will land at City Point, a 1.8-million-square-foot mixed-use development coming soon to the Downtown Brooklyn parcel that was most recently home to Dekalb Market. Once completed, the movie theater will have seven screens playing new releases and several others devoted to all kinds of retro gems, rereleases, and special programming. Like the chain’s other locations, food, beer, and cocktails will be delivered to your seat. Don’t start popping your popcorn just yet, however: The City Point Alamo Drafthouse is tentatively scheduled to open in 2015. [Drafthouse via Eater, Earlier]
