It is open. Now known at the Beach Cinema Alehouse, it’s a dinner and a movie theatre. http://www.beachcinemaalehouse.com/

This theatre’s completion was announced in the September 1991 edition of Boxoffice. RC Theatres was the operator.

Beach Movie Bistro Inc. is owned by Virginia Beach brothers Donald Pollard Jr. and John Pollard with two out-of-town partners. The Pollard’s parents owned the long-gone Surf ‘n’ Sand Motel, which stood on the site that became the movie theater. The 20,000-square-foot Surf ‘n’ Sand opened with 8 screens.

Open ~1995-~2008? Can anyone verify the exact dates?

Owners:

1995 R/C Theatres Management Corp., of Maryland

1998 Regal Cinemas Inc.

January 2001 Regal closed

Later 2001 R/C Theatres Management Corp. reopened

January 2008 closed

More info and photos always welcome.

Just 1 ½ miles from the beach.
