The Roxie is a having a fundraiser to buy the building.
“For the last year, we have been privately pursuing a big goal: to raise $7 million to purchase our building, invest in technology upgrades, and expand our programming, ensuring that The Roxie remains a cherished and thriving institution in SF for the long haul.
We are closing in on our goal and only have $1.5 million left to raise, thanks to early support and enthusiasm of our community and generous donors who care deeply about San Francisco film culture. Now, we’re calling on everyone who values the creative, independent, community spirit the Roxie represents to help us achieve this goal and secure the future of the Roxie forever.”
The building is being demolished, and causing issues to many of the adjoining businesses to be closed, including the iconic “Barracuda” on 22nd st. according to owner Bob Pontarelli in a statement on Facebook
““In the past few months, a major demolition of the buildings surrounding Barracuda was undertaken,” he wrote. “This included the movie theater that shares our entire East wall and apartments on 23rd street that share our stage. This demolition is the first step of a huge condo project. The damage from the construction has significantly affected the interior and overall operation of the bar. The next step will be the drilling of the bedrock in order to begin tower construction. There is no way to anticipate the additional damage and risks that could arise in the future. It is impossible to conduct business as usual.”

The Colonial Theatre is in need of repairs..
with more than 120 years of history comes a multitude of problems.
Jennifer Carlson with the theatre says there’s water infiltration, exterior damage and brick and mortar issues. Plus, community members are always asking when they will fix the interior walls.
Carlson says they must first address the exterior damage before the interior.
“So we really need to chip out that inappropriate and old mortar and repoint the entire wall.” Carlson says those repairs will be quite expensive, which is why they are hoping the community will help chip in.
“So we need $240,000. So far we have $70,000. We’re applying for some grants,” Carlson said.
The theatre is hosting a fundraiser Saturday at 8 p.m. to raise money, but donations can be made at thecolonialtheatre.com.

I had no idea that they showed movies at Wanamakers too.
Was used as the theatre for the “Bride of the Monster” premiere scene in Tim Burton’s “Ed Wood”
The demolition took place March of 2021, and it was not for a hotel- it was to expand retail/dining options in Downtown Disney.
