I was just looking online & noticed someone say that their Alamo Drafthouse location had permanently closed. So, I decided to look up my local Drafthouse. They announced two days ago that they were closing permanently. The Rise of Skywalker was the last movie I watched there. It was the second from last movie I saw in theaters before the pandemic. Movie watching, like so much else, will be forever different. I'm sure we will find a way to 👇

merelybookish Sad news...movie viewing does feel like it will never be the same again. 3y
AkashaVampie I was just saying to my Husband.... that our little one will probably never go to the movie theater. He is almost 4. That makes me so sad. I loved going to see movies when i was little. 3y

Bookwormjillk Oh no! Alamo Drafthouse was so much fun 😢 3y
wordslinger42 If I'm remembering correctly, they're doing a Lord of the Rings cast reunion this spring that is only in theaters, and I believe it's to help raise money for Alamo Drafthouse or other theaters to help them stay open! So maybe it's not the end for your theater 💜 3y
Scochrane26 I loved Alamo when I visited Austin. Here in my area, our theater that is a cultural landmark has closed after many years of business. I‘m hoping it will be able to open back up one day. 3y
Amandajoy That stinks! Ours is still temporarily closed. My husband and I have been eagerly awaiting it to reopen. I‘m hoping it will be around & open when James Bond is finally released. 3y
readordierachel What a bummer :( 3y
marleed The downtown building hosting the Alamo Drafthouse in Kansas City is so iconic on its corner across from the Power&Light district. I hope it can be retained as a theater for that area. However, I did read a lengthy article in the online Pitch that described perhaps management at that location was as much the issue as the pandemic itself. I hope that means other ADH locations survive the pandemic. 3y
Kimberlone I really miss going to the movies. It‘s my favorite activity outside of reading. I only live a couple blocks from our local theaterpub, which hasn‘t played a film since last March :( 3y
ScientistSam That's so sad. The Alamo chain filed bankruptcy this week but it sounded like it will be bought and hopefully continue on at least in most locations. 3y
Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick I read that they're closing the underperforming locations but the sale includes some of the same backers /current CEO plus new investors. If you're in Austin, I saw that they indicating moving the signature events that were normally held at The Ritz to new Austin locations. If you aren't lucky enough to live near multiple, I hope in a couple years they rebound and find a new home near you. 3y
