The Revue Film Society and Danny and Letty Mullin Announce New Lease Agreement Ensuring Continued Success for Historic Revue Cinema
[Toronto, September 10, 2024] — The Revue Film Society and building owners Danny and Letty Mullin are pleased to announce the signing of a new lease agreement, marking a significant milestone in their long-standing partnership.

The condo complex “Stage 1075” takes up this space.
According to Jackson Fuller Real Estate
“1075 Stage, built in 2017, is home to 99 residences at 1075 Market St. in the heart of the transforming mid-Market neighborhood along the north end of the South of Market Area (SOMA).
Home sizes begin at about 420 square feet and most homes are in the 600 – 800 square foot range, with several over 1,000 square feet. Homes are available in studio, one-, and two-bedroom layouts.
Building amenities of note include attended lobby, smartphone-enabled virtual doorman, package lockers, rooftop deck with BBQ, fire pit and seating area, dog-run and dog-washing station, landscaped building courtyard, bike storage, and bike maintenance areas."
in the lobby and on each floor is a photo mural paying tribute to all of the cinema treasures that were along Market St.
Reopening is still hoped for, but renovations are on going. There’s a indiegogo campaign to help raise the money for them and get the theater re-opened.
Next Stage is hoping to purchase and renovate Uptown Theatre, which was constructed in 1930. In July 2023, it was the first property in Marceline to be added to the National Register of Historic Places. It hosted the Midwest premiere of Disney’s “The Great Locomotive Chase” in 1956 and the world premiere of “The Spirit of Mickey” in 1998. It’s the last extant historic rural theater in Linn County, Missouri that can host films and festivals.
According to Next Stage, Uptown Theatre has mold, a leaky roof, architectural deterioration, and more issues. Many of these problems arose because the theatre was closed for years due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Ultimately, Next Stage will need $4 million to renovate the building but they are currently aiming for $685,000 to purchase Uptown Theatre, secure insurance, replace the roof, and complete mold removal and remediation.
Any money raised over the goal will be used to update the building’s five apartments so they can be rented and generate more revenue. Work will then begin on the utilities, façade, neon sign, marquee, lobby, and business spaces. The auditorium will be the most extensive part of the project and will be rehabilitated last.
They expect the project to take over six years depending on how quickly they get funding. They plan to reopen no later than the 100th anniversary of the theatre in 2030. For the grand reopening, they hope to recreate the premiere of “The Great Locomotive Chase” with Walt and Roy Disney impersonators.
They will then open to the public with vintage and old Disney movie showings, and hire a theater manager to start a company for plays and musicals. The space will also be leased for festivals.
Maybe some activity going on at the Arclight ?

SF Chronicle is reporting that this complex might be re-opening.
“The potential new lease is “still in negotiations” and currently under review by the special servicer managing the mall, the individual confirmed, though they declined to name the operator or give a timeline for when the ongoing discussions could wrap up.”
