UPDATED 12/21, 11:35 a.m. ET: It turns out Kim and Pete rented out a private theater at Atrium Stadium Cinemas, and were there to enjoy House of Gucci. Owner Jesse Scarola told TMZ that Pete visits “at least once a month with friends,” but the date with Kim differed in that they used a side door, per her security team’s request.

“Despite making a low-key entrance, Scarola says Kim and Pete chatted with staff and fans—like PD usually does—and they even took pics with folks,” the outlet wrote, adding “Kim made an effort to get to know people” at Pete’s local theater.

It’s apparently movie night for Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson.

As pointed out by TMZ, the new celebrity couple was just spotted at Atrium Stadium Cinemas in Davidson’s home borough of Staten Island. Photos posted on social media show the casually dressed duo by the concessions stand with Scott Disick nearby. It’s unclear if Kardashian and Davidson were leaving or entering a screening at the time the pictures were snapped.

The outing took place just hours before Saturday Night Live’s final broadcast of 2021. Earlier in the day, the SNL team announced it was ditching its live audience for this week’s episode due to concerns over the omicron surge. The series also said it would conduct the live broadcast with limited cast and crew, but did not specify which cast members would be absent.

Due to the recent spike in the Omicron variant and out of an abundance of caution, there will be no live audience for tonight’s taping of “Saturday Night Live” and the show will have limited cast and crew.

A source told the New York Post several SNL cast members had tested positive for COVID-19, but indicated Davidson wasn’t one of them. “[The] show must go on, but don’t expect to see Colin Jost, Sarah Sherman or (Aristotle) Athari,” the insider said. 

Kardashian and Davidson’s relationship seemingly after the Oct. 9 SNL episode hosted by the reality TV star. Kardashian is currently in divorce proceedings with Kanye West, who has been quite vocal about his desire for reconciliation. 

“Kim is making a statement by doubling down that she’s single,” an insider told Page Six after Kardashian filed to become legally single. “She thinks it’s strange that Kanye keeps saying he wants her back, but all the while he’s got [model Vinetria] at his Malibu house.”
