I noticed too this past weekend when I was driving thru the parking lot of the Meadowbrook shopping center the theater looked out of business. It looked like there was paper over the front doors.

Went by today – I believe they’re 86’d. The web site & telephone # are gone.

There was an explosion in the theater in June 1975:

Bomb rips theater; $3,000 damage

A pipebomb caused an estimated $3,000 damage early Thursday to the lobby of the Willow Park Theater in Wheeling Township. The bomb was the second in two months at the theater, which is scheduled to open July 4, and the theater was the second in the Chicago-area that was bombed during the early morning.

THE FIRST OF the two bombs exploded in the lobby of the Meadowbrook Cinema in Downers Grove at 2:17 a.m. Downers Grove police said the bombs caused an estimated $5,000 to $8,000 damage to the theater and two adjacent stores. The Cinema had been in operation for almost a year, police said.
