There are several photos of this theater on its page at CinemaTour. This page indicates that the building is for sale, but also that it has “mold issue".
Although the article does not identify them, other recent articles about the Dickinson bankruptcy have identified or strongly suggested that these theaters have been or are likely to be closed or sold off as a part of the action: the Penn Square 10 in Oklahoma City, OK, the Plaza 6 in Leavenworth, KS, and the Northrock 14 in Wichita, KS.
Here is a webpage about the furniture store that incorporated the space that once was the Pic; part of the theater’s entrance can be seen in one of the B&W pictures, and there is a modern day photo of the frontage of the furniture store that includes the Pic premises.
Here is a set of officially commissioned photos of the Sam Houston Theater; here is a set of photos of the renovation in progress, and here is an article about the theater and its renovation with a before-and-after slideshow.

I am sure that many people submit news items every week (I send in quite a few myself) and I am sure that the number varies from week to week. Over the last several months, there has been a great deal of movie theater related news; there have been an increased number of openings, of closings, (principally due to the number of theaters that cannot make the costly transition to digital), of theaters going up for sale, of theaters celebrating anniversaries, and of announcements of films and festivals, etc.

This theater is operated by Phoenix Theatres, a small Michigan-based chain. Phoenix Big Cinemas is an entirely different company which has its U.S. offices in Knoxville, TN, and has theaters not only in the U.S. but in India and Indonesia as well.
The theater and the Wonderland Mall were in Livonia, not Labak, Michigan. There was an earlier theater at Wonderland in a different location at the mall; this one was built as part of the Wonderland Mall expansion in a space formerly occupied by a large restaurant. The Mall is essentially demolished; the Target at the Mall’s location is the only building that contains any part of the Mall’s physical plant.
There is a picture of the exterior of the theater (its entrance was inside the Mall) and additional information on this webpage.
