Final date: June 30, 2024… likely at the lease opt out at the 15-year mark.
Apparently, it’s not just the Roosevelt Commons location that’s getting shut down. The entire Kerasotes chain is gone now.
And IMHO, while the shooting and other recent incidents at the Roosevelt Commons didn’t help matters, their closing can’t be blamed solely on the misbehavior of its patrons. The entire Kerasotes chain must have been in dire straits for quite a while in order to implode like this.

So glad that it’s reopening. It’s a great location.
Supposedly they’re going to be getting both a Dolby Cinema screen and a true IMAX with Laser screen. I’m thinking the IconX screen is going to be the Dolby Cinema one. No word on whether the IMAX with Laser screen is also going to be 15/70, but I highly doubt it.
