Special Notice to Our Customers and Friends:
Due to economic circumstances related to the COVID-19 pandemic and the negative impact it has had on the availability of new movies and moviegoing attendance, the West Mall 7 Theatre is temporarily closed for public operations for approximately 5 weeks starting Friday, February 19.
During this time, we will be working to make our facility better suited for sustainable operations over the remainder of 2021. This includes:
• Selected equipment updates throughout the theatre
• Maintenance of equipment in our auditoriums
• Improvements to our self-ticketing processes
We are encouraged that the COVID-19 vaccination process is underway, and we are hopeful that more new movies will be available to us as summer approaches.
We look forward to seeing you back at the movies on Friday, March 26.
