What's the latest theatre to close or open you have heard about?
A Marshalls store will eventually occupy the space where a former movie theater was until it closed last month at the Carbon Plaza Mall.
Work has begun to renovate the space.
On Friday Cassidy Kelly, ...
Anyone know of a 4 plex or better available in eastern/central pa?
I've never been there but I just looked at the pictures on their website and it looks like their screen is a postage stamp.
Yes, it is a very small theater (68 seats).
THERE ISN'T ANYTHING grand about the Grand Illusion unless you value intimacy, stamina, quirkiness, seats that don't rock and the certainty that nobody involved is getting rich. It is as humble as a screening room — and no bigger than some you'd find inside mansions around town.
The audience can be as eclectic as the film menu. Director Quentin Tarantino might be there. When he attended the Seattle Film Festival two years ago, he showed up at the Grand Illusion and fell in love with the place, ambience and goal. He talked about dropping out to a theater like this after his Hollywood run, and bought a lifetime membership. Some day or night you might notice an old guy sashaying past the ticket table without paying. The story goes that he walked in one day, donated $1,500 and said, "I probably won't live much longer so how about I get in free for life?"
The Dolby Theatre, the Los Angeles venue that for more than 20 years has played host to the Academy Awards, has been put up for sale.
Anyone who buys that theater for $70m is not going to keep it as a theater IMO in spite of the deal with the Academy, which I'm sure has some kind of cancellation clause. It will be torn down and the site used for a hotel or condo or an office tower. I never realized until this news that Dolby didn't actually own the theatre. Hopefully, no one buys it and it just continues as it has been.
The 'beautiful movie palace' and the last single-screen movie theater in Seattle's downtown that has been closed for four years will reopen under SIFF's brand
Seattle Cinerama reopens on Dec 14 as the SIFF Cinema Downtown
They mentioned that the Cinerama name can't be used any more, but I hope that does not mean they intend to remove the Cinerama equipment. SIFF is a non-profit organization that may not have the money to continue showing Cinerama films occasionally. Paul Allen loved How the West was Won and could afford the luxury.
I hope that does not mean they intend to remove the Cinerama equipment.
As far as I know, the equipment from before closure is all still there and in working order. There is very much an intention to make full use of it when they are able. The theater is in really good cinema-loving hands.
Rohnert Park (California)'s movie theater Reading Cinemas has quietly closed after 25 years.
The multiscreen theater announced the Rohnert Park Expressway location’s closing on signs taped to the windows Wednesday afternoon.
Santa Rosa resident Katie Davis stood in front of one of the “closed” signs with her jaw dropped. She’d been going to the movies there for the last 20 years.
Davis had just picked up her three kids after school with plans on taking them to see “PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie” until she saw the signs.

Located on the west side of Rohnert Park, it was previously the Stadium 16 owned by Pacific Theaters before Reading International purchased it.
Dallas-based LOOK Cinemas will open its newest multi-screen theater at Reston Town Center in Virginia on Nov. 2.
Look Dine-in Cinemas reopened the theater at Reston Town Center in Reston, VA, on Nov. 2. This theater dates to (I believe) the '80s, originally operated by National Amusements, then Rave Cinemas briefly, and finally Bow Tie Cinemas, who did a full renovation (including de-twinning a couple of broom closet-sized auditoriums). They operated it for about a decade but it never seemed that busy when I visited and ultimately never recovered from the pandemic, closing in May 2022. Look has installed recliners and a full bar, and beefed up the kitchen for full dine-in service. The PLF screen is scope (no masking).
