The movie theater 5 minutes up the highway from closed it's doors. The lease ran out. And with few people going these days and others going the streaming route, add in the fact that there's nothing good out there these days, I can understand it. Landlord of the property I guess is putting feelers out to other theater chains to see if anyone wants the place.

That. And the fact that the place was falling apart. I'd figure during the pandemic when things were shut down they'd put up some cash for a construction crew and do a nice renovation/remodel. Nope.

Next closest place is a small 2-screen independent place where if you blink, you'll probably miss the movie you want to see. Only have films for a week or two then move on to something else.

It sucks because I can always count on the movie theater as a place to escape and relax for a couple hours. I guess now staying at home with the small screen and microwave popcorn is the new normal.

You can get a pretty decent setup for a fairly decent cost, IMO. I just recently got a Dolby Atmos capable surround sound system ($300-$400 can't remember) and it has changed EVERYTHING.


Agree with Destor, and I too love going to the theatre.
