Bart3049 commented about Filmtheater Slachtstraat on May 13, 2026 at 7:35 am

https://slachtstraat.nl/ Due to plans to convert the buildings into residences, the collaboration between the Utrecht Monument Fund (UMF) ended in 2018, and Filmtheater ’t Hoogt had to close its doors. Ultimately, these plans did not go ahead, and in early 2020, the owner, the UMF, and Jos Stelling signed an agreement to re-establish a film theater there.

With great love for the city and film, the renewed current cultural film center, Slachtstraat Filmtheater, was thus created. It features three auditoriums with a total of 200 seats, equipped with the latest technology and comfort. Furthermore, the complex has been made sustainable and is accessible to people with disabilities, partly thanks to an elevator. The atmosphere of the Grand Café, the Conservatory, the Back Room, and the restaurant evokes Paris at the end of the 19th century.

Bart3049 commented about Utrecht City on May 13, 2026 at 7:29 am

After years of slow decline, it is truly over for the Kinepolis Utrecht City cinema as of Monday, May 11. The iconic building, which had housed a cinema since 1936, has been sold and is permanently closed as of today.

“Kinepolis has sold the building and operations of the cinema cease as of today, Given the significantly changed cinema landscape in Utrecht in recent years (including the opening of Kinepolis Jaarbeurs at the end of 2016) and the investments required by the building, Kinepolis has decided to close its doors.”

Things had been going badly for the cinema for quite some time. The building was visibly in disrepair. As early as 2015, City seemed destined to disappear, but a petition kept the cinema open at the time.

It has since become clear that the City cinema on Voorstraat will be acquired by real estate entrepreneur Robert-Paul Caron. Although the takeover has not yet been fully finalized according to Caron, one thing is already certain, according to him: films will no longer be shown there. “Kinepolis sold on the condition that it never becomes a cinema again.”

Bart3049 commented about La Sirene a Barbe on Aug 8, 2025 at 4:29 am

The cinema closed its doors for good on November 5, 2019, following the opening of a multiplex in the city center near the train station. La sirène à Barbe is a cabaret, not a movie theater! So the correct name is REX!

I keep repaeting: This teatre is not used as a cinema, no screen is present, so the designation should be ‘closed’!

“Since closing in the 1980’s it operated as a discothque and from 2010 the former cinema has operated as a concert/live music venue!”

Clearly states that it has been closed since the 80s!

Bart3049 commented about Marivaux Theatre on Aug 17, 2024 at 4:08 am

The last chapter ‘after a period…’ is sadly wrong, the front part of the theatre on te side of the Boulevard Adolphe Max was taken over by the Adjacent Hotel Vendôme, that changed its name in Hotel Mariveaux and used the 2 small box cinemas on the front side as small auditoria of 115 and 75 places, the big theatre on the Rue Saint Pierre side with it’s 2 balconies served as a car parking (I have pictures) and was seriously degraded. In 2021 it was demolished, only preserving the Facade and the Art-nouveau entrance and stairs in a new Student housing project. https://unaa.eu/projets/marivaux-residence-for-students-and-young-professionals/
