We hope this message finds you well. We are pleased to tell you that our staff and families are all safe and accounted for after Helene.
As many of you know, Neal, our owner, also serves as the Director of Operations for New Morning Gallery and Bellagio Art To Wear in Biltmore Village. Unfortunately, New Morning Gallery sustained extreme damage, and Bellagio Art to Wear has been completely destroyed. We’ve been keeping our hands and hearts busy during this challenging time.
Due to the storm’s impact, The Fine Arts Theatre is currently without full power, Wi-Fi, and water, and like most in Asheville we are uncertain when we’ll be able to reopen.
Our special events for October, ENO on October 8th and MUSIC FOR MUSHROOMS on October 10th, are canceled. We’ll let you know when and if we can reschedule.
If you have purchased tickets for any canceled showtimes, we’ll reach out to you via email once we regain full power at the theatre and can access our point-of-sale system. We appreciate your patience during this time.
We look forward to welcoming you back as soon as we are able. In the meantime, please stay safe.
Do you know how at the end of Pan’s Labyrinth when you are stuck in a suspension of disbelief? You want so badly to believe that Ofelia is OK. Magic is Real. She is reunited with her parents and actually a princess. On the other hand, you are devastated. You know the truth. You want to close your eyes and make believe, but we have to face the truth and move on.
For a little while we were hoping our little cinema would have survived, but the truth is, it has not. Along with SO many all over WNC, every business on our wonderful Foundy Street, we have all been devastated and can not process how our Asheville will change.
We can only think of how lucky we are that we are safe. Our employees are safe. We have our homes and our lives. We are fortunate to have heard words of support from many of our customers, our friends, and those in the art house community. We are touched and grateful and our hearts are full.
We can’t know now what the future will hold, but we will post updates if we have any news.
We love you Asheville and beyond
Hey Jillian This is great news. I contributed this story above. I unfortunately never was in any of the Milgram Theaters in Center City but remember them well. I was in the Yeadon many times and I think they may have owned the Tower on 69thst before it was sold to Ellis Theaters.
Hey Bob.
Glad you are still around. Saw many movies there starting in 68 Yours Mine and Ours. In the porn era they did run a double feature Lady Sings the Blues and Mahogany for a few weeks than back to porn. I think after we saw YMAO, they put a new screen in. YMAO did not have any masking it was a screen that looked like maybe it had masking that came down for scope. Years later they had side masking and I believe top too.
It was a matter of time since they closed all their other locations. Maybe another chain will come in
Epic is a good theater chain
The name should be the Paramount. It was only Sony for a short time. I saw The Blue Lagoon here in 70MM

Temporarily closed due to no water and power from Hurricane Helene
Temporarily closed due to Helene with no water or power
Why would Cinemark close this after only a year? I can’t get the story to open
AMC sucks
Do they still use masking?
Holy Cross was my church growing up.

It is MovieguyNYC. I heard Cinemark is doing the same thing.
Nooooo I hate to hear this. It was such a popular drive in
I didn’t think I would like the new marquee but it is awesome.
As many faults that AMC has I am glad they still use masking.
Was Beckett a Roadshow engagement? The Sand Pebbles was
years later that is the same corner the Shore was.
I thought Alamo went into bankruptcy and closed all their theaters. I know some were taken over by Sony in Texas
We would pass this on the way to the Philadelphia zoo
Thanks Papermoon4. Sigh.
It would be good to see this open again if it’s till intact.
Saw One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest there. It was a twin with large screens.
vindanpar The lower level theaters were horrible. My TV screen and living roon was bigger.
