New York City Cinema Evacuated Mid-Movie Due to Severe Flooding
New York City, NY – Moviegoers at the AMC Theatre Lincoln Square experienced an unexpected interruption on July 15, 2025, when the cinema was forced to evacuate due to significant flooding. The incident occurred during a showing of the new Superman film, leaving many patrons, including local resident Yasmine, unable to see the conclusion of the movie. Eyewitness accounts and video footage from inside the theater show large numbers of people descending escalators and then gathering outside the building on visibly wet streets. The flooding prompted an emergency response, with crews assessing the situation. While the exact cause of the flooding and the extent of the water damage inside the auditorium remain unclear, the immediate priority was the safe evacuation of all attendees. The incident highlights the impact of recent weather conditions on urban infrastructure, leading to disruptions in public spaces. Further details on the theater's reopening and the full assessment of the damage are anticipated.
