The Walnut Cinema closed for a whole year for renovation and remodeling after the November 30, 1987 showing of “Can’t Buy Me Love”. It was originally planned to be reopened by the Spring of 1988 but never happened. Instead, it remained dark until April 14, 1989, reopening with “Rain Man”.

The Walnut Theatre originally housed 488 seats when it opened in 1925 by J.B, Weddle, but following the broken levee in 1937, the renovation downgraded its seating capacity to 380 seats where it remained for decades. As of 1989, the Walnut housed 298 seats.
