The Majestic opened in November 1975. In March 22nd, 1978, it was renamed the Regency after a contest. Then, on April 13th, 1979, it reopened as the Capri Theatre. The theater closed on March 30th, 2000. Grand opening ads posted.

This is an incredible history to learn and just makes me depressed that no one has stepped up to replace this theater with one in Anchorage solely devoted to arthouse/indie fare.

Instead we’re reliant on whatever the corporate executives at Regal or Cinemark decide to book, or the sometimes suspect whims of the booker at Bear Tooth. It’s not enough; maybe one day a true arthouse theater will open again in Anchorage.

I scanned my Capri flyers from the ‘90s if you’re interested in what was screening there (and at the short-lived single screen 35mm theater in the basement of Cyrano’s downtown) between 1991 and 1997.

I remember this theater vividly. I’d watched “Crash” (1996), Breaking the Waves, Shine, Secrets and Lies… it was a great, small theater that showed films that you couldn’t find anywhere else in Anchorage, then and now.
