Hollywood Theater

Rick Stern’s CineMagic Denis Theatre in the Mt. Lebanon section of Pittsburgh closed in September 2004.

This theatre was availabe at a tax auction a few years ago. I’ve never seen the inside but was informed by an official in the tax department that it had been vandalized prior to it being seized by the tax officials. An owner of a retail store next to the complex told me the last time he and his friend attended a movie on the theatre’s “bargain night” they were the only two people in the theatre. Parking was also a problem in the area and supposedly the last owner tried to work out an arrangement with the neighboring church to use their parking lot in the evenings. The church wasn’t interested. The Hollywood does have a balcony and is the larger of the two Dormont theatres. Memory tells me there was no protruding marquee of vertical.
