Originally opened as the Village Theatre in 1935. The Regent Highland Park Village Theaters were owned by the growing new chain Regent Theaters, and showed first run major studio releases and select art house cinema. The facility was excellent, with great screens and sound and great concessions. It was closed in August 2009, and taken over by new operators, who planned a May 2010 reopening.

This was the theatre that premiered Zyzzyx Road, the lowest grossing film of all-time ($20 total in six days of release).

anyone know who purchased the theater or will be taking over the lease? the printed sign out front says “re-opening 2010”

According to this article View link this theater apparently will be reopening only as a restaurant; there is no mention of continued cinema use. It also seems that the current marquee will be removed so as to install a new one that will be a platform for al fresco dining.
