This theater has an iconic billboard for the movie ‘Megamind’ that has been up ever since 2010. The billboard has garnered a cult following and was even set to be taken down in January 2024, however, that has yet to happen as of late 2024, possibly due to community outcry.
I know the theater struggled through Covid, but they’re back on their feet. As of 2024 they’re hosting live events including the Michigan Philharmonic, and occasionally showing movies as well. I’m glad that the Marquis isn’t permanently closed or gutted as previously suggested, as I participated in Youth Theater camps here when I was a kid. Arguably, it was the beginning of my love for performing arts.
I’m shocked this theater made it out of Covid alive… (For now). I’ve only been here once, despite living in Commerce. I saw Rogue One here in 2016, it wasn’t a terrible experience, but it can’t compare to the nearby Emagine and MJR theaters.
I’m surprised there doesn’t seem to be any photos of the theater while it was still a theater. I pass by here sometimes and never realized it was a theater,but you really can tell.
I always wondered what that empty lot across from my grandparents church was. I’m surprised it’s remained empty for all these years, and that you can still see the outline on Google Maps.

312 N. Main Street has been occupied by Burger Joint as long as I’ve been able to remember. Crazy to think it used to be a theater!
