Want to lease old theater with option
I am searching for an old movie house to lease with a future option to buy. Must be in operation, will consider the grand old type, but would like to be able to show “scope” 70mm (would be idea) for special festivals, etc. Not looking for first run.
Makes no difference what area of the country it is located will consider all. If it the right fit, i will go for it.
If you have one or know of someone who has one on the market, email me ASAP. Even you guys who want to sell, why not consider lease with option?

Who owns the Vogue Theatre?
HOLLYWOOD, CA — I was wondering if anyone knew the name of the owner or company that owns or operates the Vogue Theatre located at 6675 Hollywood Blvd.
I’ve been trying to reach the owners for some time now with no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I’m very interested in the property which would be used for live children theatrical shows based on a series of characters I’ve created.
I think some fun “theatre” style events on Hollywood Blvd. would do it some justice…..Thanks!

Concordia’s new movie theater opens
CONCORDIA, KS — In July of 2002, the Apollo Theatre closed and left the North Central Kansas community of 5,000 without a movie theatre until last night, when The Majestic, a four screen complex opened.
The Majestic is a joint venture with B&B Theatres of Liberty Missouri and a group of 20 local investors. The $1.4 million dollar project features wall to wall screens, a family arcade, stadum seating in all auditoriams, and DTS and Dolby surround sound in the auditoriams. The new theatre’s lobby is a 1900s-vintage design. While the theatre is completed work remains to be done on the parking area.
This project is a part of an effort to spur development in the city’s downtown. The municipality is offering property owners grants, and Citizens National Bank is offering low interest loans. B&B Theatres is the majority stockholder of the project with 20 local partners who collectively invested $640,000. B&B signed loans from Concordia’s four banks for the remainder.
The Apollo, which was a twin theatre, was located in the adjcent block from the restored Brown Grand Theatre which is used as a live production facility.

Life Magazine seeks the most interesting cinemas in America
CinemaTour is working with a Life magazine writer to come up with a list of the most interesting cinemas in America.
Recently, the Life cover was on unusual churches — the smallest, the hippest, the most stained glass. It was a big hit and now we want to do movie theaters. Specifically, we’re looking for things like the most romantic, most remote, most haunted, highest altitude, best food, most family friendly. Nominations of categories and cinemas can be made on the CinemaTour Forum at http://forums.cinematour.com

The main floor will be for the live shows seating 300 to 600, while the balcony will be converted into a twin theater for first run, historical and cult films.
The work is expected to take three years to complete at a cost of around $3.5 million.

Elks Theatre to Reopen!
MIDDLETOWN, PA — After being closed for six months, the GMEDC has found an operator months ago, purchased a new sound system, projector, and installed necessary up-to-date fire code devices, the Elks Theatre is finally ready to open!
I went to the test screening last night of “Yours, Mine, and Ours,” and the place looks fantastic.
The theatre opens to the public for the first time since October with “Scary Movie 4.” The theatre will continue to get “newer” second run films, but the price has gone up all little. I encourage as many as you can to come!
Showtimes:
Friday, 7pm, 9pm…
Adults $5, Children $3Saturday, Sunday, 2pm, 7pm…
All tickets $3 for the matinee. Adults $5 and Children $3 for 7pm show. -

Who owns the Hillsboro 8?
TAMPA, FL — Anyone know who is re-developing the once Beautiful Carmike Hillsboro 8? It was retro-fitted in 99 to stadium, and features beautiful marble floors. It has been closed since the bankruptcy in 2000. They claimed road construction was the death of the location.The only competition now is AMC 14 at Westshore.
It sat empty for years as vandals did everything from lighting fires and knocking down light poles in the parking lot to breaking glass.
I’m interested in finding out if it will be turned into a car lot, or if they will be looking for a manager soon. I have over 7 yrs management experience, and am interested in learning if it will be re-opened.
