Soundman, it is not uncommon for a company to build a new theater and close the former. Leasing could be part of it. Often the upgrade just isn’t feasible.
The Turnpike Theatres closing had nothing to do with the building of the Fair City 3 next door. They were owned and operated by the same company. There was talk of twinning the 1 auditorium but was rejected. No doubt the lease had the most to do with its closing.
