ShowBiz Cinemas was acquired by EVO Entertainment in January 2022, but the branding was not changed:

This theater was rebranded as the EVO Entertainment - Homestead + IMAX on December 20, 2023:
Homestead, FL: ShowBiz Cinemas Rebranded with EVO Entertainment Name [Dec 20, 2023]
Homestead’s first bowling/cinema combination was Paula Carter’s Pro Bowl (last called Homestead Bowling Center) that included the Fun Center Cinema that operated in the 1990’s near US-1.
The Showbiz, Homestead’s latest cinema, happens to have been built approximately where Homestead’s earliest one once stood over 100 years before.
According to this South Dade News-Leader article from December 11, 2015, “Homestead’s Early Movie Theaters”:
“Homestead’s first movie theatre dates to 1913….The first movies were shown in Sistrunk Hall which was on the south side of Mowry Street just west of the Bank of Homestead – most recently the Homestead Police Station.”
The old Homestead Police Station and the buildings west of it along Mowry Street where Sistrunk Hall had previously been were removed and replaced by the Homestead Station complex that includes Showbiz Cinemas, therefore the new cinema is about where the first one had been.
