To Chuck1231, Actually The Building The Theatre In The 500 Block Of Main Was Called The WARWICK BUILDING. It Had Been The Offices Of The Old CONSTITUTION-DEMOCRAT NEWSPAPER. The Theatre Opened In The Building Was Operated By THE BAKER-DODGE THEATRE COMPANY Circa August, 1916.
John- You should come spend an afternoon with our family.. we’re the epitome of bizarre. ;) Keokuk is a fantastic community and has been great to us! Looking forward to many years in Iowa! Go Hawks!

There’s an embedded video tour of the place (from YouTube) on Eisentraut Theaters' website. It’s not easy to see why AMC decided this place wasn’t in their model: it’s the type of theatre they abandoned running in the 80’s even though it probably still does well (although the margins aren’t nearly what they’d be at a 24-plex). Despite the fact the owner of the chain has expressed some bizarre and controversial views on this site a few years ago – I wish the operation well for the sake of the community.
This theater will be reopened by Eisentraut Theatres on December 10, 2010: View link
According to the article, this cinema originally opened as a single-screen in the late 1960s.
This theater was acquired by AMC when it bought most of Kerasotes theaters, and they renamed it the the AMC Plaza 3. AMC will be closing it as of November 28, 2010: View link
There was also a Warwick Theatre at 515 Main Street, does anyone have any information on the Warwick?
Chain should be Kerasotes Theatres.
