Cinemark Movies 14 McKinney is now One Community Church. Not sure what they need all that space for.

The National Amusements Showcase Concourse Plaza 10 in the Bronx, NY, which closed in May of 2024, reopened as the Regal Concourse 10 with a total of about 1900 seats. That gives the Bronx two theaters and 23 screens (for almost 1.4 million people).
There's rumors that someone is going to reopen the also-shuttered National Amusements Showcase Jamaica 15 (Jamaica, Queens, NY), which closed 11 months ago.
Also, the Alamo Drafthouse Brooklyn location added 5 screens, bringing the total to 12 this past August. 978 seats total.Comment

In Hays KS, as of April 4th 2025, the AMC Mall Cinema 8 has permanently shut down. This is my hometown cinema that I’ve frequented since the 80s and I am very sad it has closed up.Comment

AMC built a new 14 screen theater about three miles from me, and then closed the old 8 plex down the street and it too is now a church. It's also located right behind a McDonalds, Hardies, and Burger King. So there HAS to be some connection to the spiritual burger places or something like that. Oh, and they moved the old Sony projectors to the new site. They also put Dolby Cinema in a month or two ago, but they don't say on all screens or just one or two. And frankly, I don't really give a dam! It's still AMC...Originally posted by Josh Jones View PostComment

I think AMC normally just puts in 1 Dolby Cinema screen. Those actually (at least the two I've been two) have very good presentation because Dolby is supplying all of the equipment. I'm surprised they did a 14 screen new build. With the current state of the industry and the shrinking exclusive windows I would think 10 screens is the max necessary.Originally posted by Mark Gulbrandsen View PostComment

My favorite "theater/church" story (though thankfully, it didn't actually happen) was when I was living in England in the early '00s. I was walking past York Minster (one of the most historically significant buildings in Europe, parts of which date from the 7th Century) with a co-worker, who remarked, "If only we could get those religious nuts out of there, that place would make a great IMAX 4-plex! You'd need to board up all those stained glass windows, though ... the acoustics would be crappy otherwise."Comment

One screen is't going to help that place. Until they learn where the volume control is atOriginally posted by Lyle Romer View PostComment

The Cinemark Long Meadow and XD, IMAX, ScreenX in Richmond, Texas has closed. This was originally a Santikos location and then switched from Regal to Cinemark in 2023.Comment

I remember visiting that theater the summer Santikos opened it in 2013. I saw Star Trek: Into Darkness there. The theater location is in the Western exhurbs of the Houston metro, next to the Grand Parkway (Houston's third loop highway). I don't know why the location apparently isn't working for a big movie theater. Plenty of retail stores are nearby and the housing in the surrounding areas is all somewhat upper income. Maybe the residents are tapped out with what they're paying for mortgages and property taxes; not enough spare change left over to visit the cinema.Comment

Memory Lane Drive-In (MONROE MI) PERMANENTLY CLOSED. To quote from their website and FaceBook page.................
We sincerely regret to inform everyone that the decision has been made to permanently close Memory Lane Drive-In.
In the last 4 years 35% of the remaining drive-ins in the United States have closed their doors forever citing a combination of multiple reasons including but not limited to poor attendance, streaming, and lack of concessions support. The last one is key especially for drive-ins. Memory Lane has suffered the same fate for the same reasons.
We will continue to operate the Sundance Drive-In located in Oregon, Ohio with hopes that it can survive given its 76 year history and proximity to a larger population. Renovations to the drive-in have already been started with a newly remodeled concessions stand and many more updates are planned for the future. If you love going to a drive-in please visit us and help keep this part of American history alive.
Thank you to EVERYONE that has visited us at Memory Lane Drive-In. We greatly appreciate you supporting what we fought so hard to bring to the area.
