80' x 60' IMAX screen for sale and more
Our church is buying an IMAX theater which was built new in 2005. We are selling all the theater equipment. We have all the concession equipment, approx 125 Irwin Marquee theater seats. We have a Kinotin MP-75E multi-format projector along with splicing tables and film platters. There is a complete theater sound system, POS computers, and 3 Boca Systems Ghost Writer Thermal Ticket Printers.
The real steal though is the screen, masking and masking motor. This is a MDI built 80'x60' silver standard perforated screen hung on a steel frame. It all must go. It was $170,000 new. The first $15000 OBO takes it. Buyer is responsible to come and remove screen from the building between March 29th and April 8th so we can begin our remodeling. Bids and offers for the screen are due by March 18th. See the attached picture of the screen.
Pictures of our other equipment can be seen at Facebook

Mighty Wurlitzer looking for a theatre!
To put the “soul” back into a historic theatre, a theatre pipe organ is a great solution! Whether it’s for preshow and intermission music for other events, silent films or concerts, the lush dramatic sound of a theatre pipe organ is a great addition to a restored—or restoring—theatre.
I own a 1927 3 manual 13 rank Wurlitzer theatre pipe organ currently under restoration. I would like to DONATE it to an established and stable historic theatre, hopefully in the midwest. For inquiries, please

Triplex for sale in Virginia’s Tidewater area
FRANKLIN, VA — Closed in 2008, the Armory Drive 3 is for sale. Recent overtures to operators of theaters within a hundred mile radius have not produced any results.
An unnamed couple expressed great interest in reopening the theater, but personal affairs prevented a commitment, she said.
Any renovation would be “significant,” such as leveling the theater’s floors or changing the projection technology to digital, and predictably “cost prohibitive to convert into a retail store.”
The story, with a picture and realtor information, is in this article from the Tidewater News.

2 Northern Wisconsin single screen theatres for sale
I have 2 first run, single screen theaters for sale. They are the Miner Theatre in Ladysmith, WI and the Bruce Theatre in Bruce, WI. These have been operated as absentee owner for the last 12 years. Due to my age and health, I am in need of downsizing my small company.
They are 8 miles apart and only theatres in Rusk county. Closest multiplex is over 30 miles away. Wisconsin is a no guarantee state, so film companies can only charge percentage unless older film is bought flat rate. I would like to sell them together because of how close they are. My goal is to see them stay operating, so will be fair with potential buyers.
