Once operated by Nutmeg, later operated by CinemaNational, last operated by USA Cinemas until closing on March 26, 1989 with “Police Academy 6”. I cannot confirm if this was briefly operated by Loews before its closing.

50sSNIPES commented about Esquire Theatre on Jan 31, 2026 at 5:09 am

Its return to first-run films didn’t last long and did spark controversy. Local residents in 1986 began complaining of unruly crowds at the Esquire and the city began charging patrons with a variety of disturbances, including assault and possession of drug paraphernalia. The Esquire also struggled because it draws a huge number of blacks in the largest white Detroit suburb.
