Utica Uptown Theatre for sale
The Uptown Theatre Utica, NY is listed for sale.
I screened a couple of Indian movies in this theater. The owners, Tracey Mills and Scott Anderson, were working so hard to keep it running. Contact the theatre at 315-738-0377.
I wanted to thank Tracey and Scott for all their support to Indian movies, even though it generated little interest. Wish you good luck guys.
Thanks

Theater for sale in Arkansas
MALVERN, AR — I have the Ritz Theater for sale in Malvern, Arkansas. It was originally built in 1937, burned in 1947 and was rebuilt.
It has kept the original charm and still has the cry room. It was one of the first theaters in the South to have air conditioning. The owners shut it down in Sept. due to health reasons. They remodeled the theater 4 years ago and spent over $100,000 on the project which included a new rubber roof and new seats. This is a turn key operation priced right to sell. $155,000.
Please feel free to email me for more information.
