The last few years it was open, it did revert back to playing first run movies. Classic Cinemas actually put money into the theater before it closed by replacing the seats and renovating the lobby.

One of the last second run theaters left in the Chicago area. The number of weeks between a movie is released and when it shows here are getting shorter. This weekend they’re playing The Fall Guy which was released last week and Challengers which was released two weeks ago.

Unfortunately, this theater hasn’t had any events in several years. COVID played a part, however, they didn’t have any events for a year or so before it. It seems like they’re focused on showing current movies now.

According to date listed on this website, this would be the last movie theater that was open in Aurora proper. The Fox Valley Theater closed a few years prior to this one. It’s slightly strange since Aurora is the second largest city in Illinois by population. However, there are several theaters close by with Hollywood Palms and the AMC Showplace in Naperville, the Cinemark Tinseltown in North Aurora and the Kendall 11 in Oswego.

This was a second run theater for years, but switched to first run movies sometime in the 90’s.

This was a second run theater at least in the mid 90’s.
