Opened in the early-1990’s as the Surf-n-Sand Movies 8, the theater closed in 2001 when it was under Regal management. It later reopened under R/C management which closed it in 2008 when its parent company failed to pay rent. The theater is scheduled to reopen in May 2011 as the Beach Movie Bistro with seven screens and food and beverage service.

When this opens it will be the only theatre other than the Cafe Cinema Pembroke (3 screen) to be operating in Virginia Beach.
What about the Columbus Circle and Pembroke Mall?
Here is an article about the theater’s reopening: View link.
I also left out the Strawbridge 12.
James, maybe you could add them since none of them are listed on Cinema Treasures. I was going by what is listed on CT.
Beach Movie Bistro Inc. is owned by Virginia Beach brothers Donald Pollard Jr. and John Pollard with two out-of-town partners. The Pollard’s parents owned the long-gone Surf ‘n’ Sand Motel, which stood on the site that became the movie theater. The 20,000-square-foot Surf ‘n’ Sand opened with 8 screens.
Open ~1995-~2008? Can anyone verify the exact dates?
