As of August 2017 cinema remains boarded up, a local business says it was last in use as a nightclub.

The Compton Organ at the Ritz Cinema Penzance was opened by Harold Ramsay who met the young local organist Dudley Savage. Dudley was signed by Harold Ramsey to tour the Union Cinemas . Reginald Foort did appear at the Ritz in 1947 for a charity concert.

The Ritz Penzance has been brought by Merlin Cinemas (which also owns and runs the Savoy Cinema in Penzance). Merlin will work with the Ritz Community Centre Trust to find a viable use for the former Ritz Cinema.
