Today is our FINAL DAY OPEN and we are heartbroken. 💔
Over the years, you have filled our theater with laughter, memories, and moments that we will never forget. Families celebrated birthdays here, friends shared popcorn and stories and countless people found joy within these walls. For all of that—we are forever grateful.
We survived a painful COVID closure together with pop-up movies and lots of curbside popcorn. The shutdown occurred just after completing a $350k dollar expansion to try to stand a chance against our competitors and the city supporting breaking ground on a new muti-plex. I will never understand why that chance wasn’t given to us, but it is what it is. We risked everything to save this community theater as a place of fun, food, and film. Sadly, the time has come to say goodbye. The truth is, we couldn’t compete with the other theater, and despite giving it our all, we fell short and we have lost the fight. Two movie theaters in Elizabeth City was never going to work, but we had hope.
But before we close the doors for good, we would love to see you one last time—whether it’s for a movie, a personal pizza, a bag of popcorn, some candy, or even our funnel fries. Every bit helps us cover the final bills before our lease ends, and more than that, it gives us the chance to say thank you in person. We will be selling conessions until 6:30pm today.
Your support has meant the world to us. If you’ve ever enjoyed a night here, if you’ve ever laughed with friends in our seats, or if this place holds even one special memory for you—please stop by today and help us close this chapter the way it deserves: with community, kindness, and gratitude.
