AMC has lost its bid with the building’s owners to renew its lease; it appears likely that this theater may close when the current lease is up:

AMC is having lease problems with Block E’s owners and may abandon the theater in 2012: View link.
I hope they give it a more attractive name; the current one makes it sound like it is part of a prison.
AMC has taken over.
Well Block E seems to be in trouble again. The Borders bookstore, one of the anchors is closing in February. Kerasotes has removed the Crown from the marquee but not replaced it with their own. One wonders how long the house will remain open.
As far as the lease, I don’t think Crown did its marketing before opening the build. The rent was extremely high, and the theatre was not turning a profit whatsoever.
What was the problem with the lease that Crown had?
Kerasote now owns the last Crown Theatre, block E 15, and let’s hope they got a better lease than Crown did.
The Minneapolis Crown is VERY much alive. It has never been closed since its opening date.
I don’t think so. The Crown Theater website still has showtimes listed for today. From the looks of it, they have state-of-the art projection, THX cert and sound. If the theater has been close “for a year” then who is operating it then?
This theatre has been closed according to my friend and old GM of the theatre in downtown Mnpls for more than a year.
