According to the showtimes listed on their website, it appears that this theater is only open on weekends.
Sorry; I should not have assumed that “for sale” implied that the theater was closed, although, sadly that is often the case.
Their website shows it still showing movies and their phone gives the current attractions and showtimes.
Is it closed? I went past there the other day and the marquee was lit up and had titles on it, I don’t remember what they were though.
It is apparently is now closed and for sale. According to this article, at least one resident wants the city’s help in helping to acquire it and restoring the Parma as a mixed use venue: View link
The Parma now shows first run movies. Here is their website.
This is a nice 2009 photo of the Parma.

Here is a b/w close-up view of the Parma.
I know it’s independent, but does anybody know who, exactly, owns and operates the Parma Theatre?
Its still $2?! I remember going there as a kid to see movies that were a bit “old” at the time (3 or 4 weeks out of theatrical release) for that price. Its good to know it is still alive and kicking and they haven’t upped their price in years!
It is $2, but the movies are second run.
The address for the Parma Theatre is 5826 Ridge Road, Parma, Oh. 44130.
The Parma Theatre opened October 17, 1936, with the picture “The Gorgeous Hussy” starring Joan Crawford, Robert Tayor and Lionel Barrymore. It looked to be about 1500 seats as a single theatre. It was divided into 3 or 4 screens in the late 70s, and after all these years still doing a bang-up business with bargain price tickets.
