Sonoma 9 Cinemas

The Sonoma Index-Tribune notes that Dave Corkill of Cinema West has owned the Sonoma Cinemas since it opening on June 10, 1994. In December of 1998 Jerry and Tonia Joldersma, in partnership with Mr. Corkill, increased the number of screens from four to six.

In May of 2009 the Index-Tribune reported that Cinema West had added three screens to the existing six, thus increasing seating by 300. That latest remodeling gave the theater all-stadium seating and all-digital projection and sound.

It was closed on March 16, 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Cinema West announced on November 5, 2020 that the closure would be permanent. It was taken over by Prime Cinemas and reopened in May 2021. It was closed on April 2, 2023.

Cinema West will not reopen this theatre, closed since March. Owner Dave Corkill: “We find ourselves forced to close and out of business because of a virus no one could have predicted and the irresponsible conduct of those that are spreading it. We regret that we will no longer be able to serve the Sonoma community and we thank everyone that supported our business, including our great staff and many guests.” The operators of the shopping center say they will look for someone else to run the theatre but note it had struggled before COVID. For now, it is closed.

Seems to be closing once again on April 2 due to lack of major releases and lower attendance than pre-COVID levels
