According t0 the recent article about Rave’s moving up the closing date for this theater, the seat count is 4,600.
It depends on a few things – Rave sold the land the theaters sit on to Entertainment Property Trust, if they sold this one they’re still paying rent on it, if not EPT could be free to lease it out to another chain (like they’re doing at the Grand 24). But my guess is having another operator come in would defeat the purpose of closing up here, but I’m sure this is a nice multiplex that’s still in good condition (National never ran their theaters into the ground).
I’ve found that some of the Cinema de Lux theatres weren’t all that deluxe, especially when they were originally just regular Showcase Cinemas. It seems National added the food court and turned a few auditoriums into “Directors Halls” and poof — de lux! If Fallen Timbers was new built as de Lux it’s probably in overall better shape with newer more refined fixtures that fit better into the upscale theatre concept.
As for Rave closing some of the bars, I’d bet there were a number of locations that had them added because National was way into the concept but were likely losing money because National forced the concept on the location. Also I’m sure National retains the rights to “Chatters” and Rave just hasn’t come up with a suitable replacement name/menu yet.
I think Rave Will shut down all Chatters' from the former Cinema Delux'es. They can make more money thrue popcorn soda and candy sales
Typo I ment thru sorry
A local news report about the theater’s closing:
View link and a video report: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=od5qsVqTm5E. Status should now be closed.
That was the location for the old Maumee drive-in.
It looks like the theater will be demolished to build a furniture store: View article
Hey….CSWalczak wrong theater. The one they are talking about is in Super Cinema in Holland. It has been empty for several years.
