Georgetown – Theatres of Georgetown will soon reopen under new ownership following a temporary closure. The exact identity of the new owners has not yet been disclosed, but an announcement made via the theater’s Facebook page confirmed plans for a reopening in July.
The closure, implemented by the previous owner, Roaden Enterprises, took effect on Thursday. This marks the end of a management era that spanned over 15 years, beginning in late 2009. Roaden Enterprises took over after Nova Cinemas, which had been operating the venue, shut its doors during the late 2000s recession.
During its final week of operation, Theatres of Georgetown showcased a selection of films, including popular titles such as “Ballerina,” “Karate Kid: Legends,” “Lilo & Stitch,” “Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning,” “The Last Rodeo,” and “Final Destination: Bloodlines.” The final showing will occur on a Thursday before the management transition. Patrons are encouraged to enjoy the last films before the change in ownership.
Theatres of Georgetown, situated at 401 Outlet Center Drive in the Factory Stores of America outlet mall, has been characterized by its commitment to providing first-run movies at reasonable prices in a welcoming atmosphere. Over the years, it has established itself as a beloved local entertainment option, especially for families and community groups.
Under Roaden management, the theater was not just a place to watch movies; it was an active community participant. The theater regularly hosted events such as summer kids series, special screenings for seniors, and themed openings for blockbuster films. It also organized various community engagement programs, including food drives for the AMEN House, a peanut butter drive for Haiti, coat drives for Toys for Tots, and silent auctions aimed at supporting local organizations. These initiatives contributed to its reputation as a community-oriented venue.
As Theatres of Georgetown prepares for this significant shift in management, there is a sense of anticipation among patrons and community members. The theater’s announcement expressing gratitude for its customer’s support over the years reflects a commitment to maintaining relationships within the community as it transitions to new ownership.
The upcoming reopening marks a critical moment for the theater, especially as many local businesses continue to navigate the post-pandemic landscape. Stay tuned for more updates regarding the reopening and plans under the new owners as Georgetown prepares for the next chapter in the life of Theatres of Georgetown.
