"For $50-100 a head, you can book a room at the 20-screen complex in Chelsea for a group sized anywhere between four and 20 people. Pick a film from either current releases or a curated archive, select a drink package for an extra $50 each, choose a 12-13 course gourmet meal off a seasonal menu for another $100 a head, and you have a ritzy night at the movies.

"The new venue, which opened to the public in late October, is the latest New York establishment to specialize in so-called experiential cinema: movie screenings with an extra incentive be it a curated scented candle screening or the full amusement park bombast of 4DX to get people off the couch and into the theater. Metro is on the smaller, curatorial, more upscale end of the theatrical event spectrum, competing alongside the lavishly themed menus of start-ups like Fork n' Film and the privacy of members-only"
Metro Private Cinemas opened in late October in Chelsea, Manhattan, offering 20 screens of private rooms for groups of four to twenty. Guests can choose current releases or a curated archive, add a $50 drink package, and order a 12–13 course seasonal gourmet meal for about $100 per head. The venue positions itself within the experiential-cinema trend that includes scented-candle screenings and 4DX attractions while emphasizing a smaller, curatorial, upscale experience. The concept aims to bridge the social energy of a crowded theater and the privacy of home viewing for a premium price.
