New Empire was a cinema hall in South Mumbai located in close proximity to the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus.

[1] It closed down on 21 March 2014 after being in existence for over a century due to persistent losses suffered by the owners.

[5] New Empire was one of the oldest single-screen cinema halls in Mumbai and the first in Asia to have a cantilevered balcony.

The theatre was bought by Mr. Keki Mody in 1935 who is the father-in-law of the current owner Mr. Burge Cooper.

[3] Another reason for the losses was the steep entertainment tax of 45 percent imposed by the Maharashtra government [3] from which the multiplexes were exempt.
