It seemed trouble was starting to brew when it abruptly closed back in April, and now that the landlord drove the owners out, this closure may have become permanent.

Truly disappointing to see all that history come to an end over the landlord's decision. This theater was where MJR Digital Cinemas got its start back in 1980, and it was the first theater in Metro Detroit to add stadium seating back in 1993.

It'd been holding its own in competition with a newer Emagine literally right behind it, but it seems like in the end Emagine won out.
