Ouch 13,000 a month that’s very high. The owners of the Theatre or owner should really reconsider and drop that down. It’s a very unrealistic high price to ask someone to pay per month. That amount is nearly impossible $13,000 a month for someone to make it showing films. With 70% of the box office going back to the studios. It would be very difficult to make up the rest to pay the rent with the sales of concessions. Remember there’s plenty other expenses besides rent that an operator have to pay
Should be listed as closed the owner passed away recently and the owners of the building will be boarding the front up until they can find someone else to lease it if they every so that is.I was told that the asking price for to lease it will be 13.000 a month.
Visible in archive domestic footage at the beginning of Episode 2, “Riding the Tiger,” of the PBS documentary THE VIETNAM WAR, and appears to have been showing Peter Sellers in the 1962 film version of WALTZ OF THE TOREADORS. The Ute Theater can be glimpsed across the street.

Robert O. Boller was the architect for the 1949/1950 remodel of the Peak Theatre for Larry Starsmore CEO of Westland Theatre, INC.
It now has three screens. Upstairs offices were converted into the third screen.
Nice photos.

Have great memories of this classic place from my teen years, I remember that in late 70’s early 80’s they rarely got the big hits, losing out to the Cooper 3, or the Ute 70 usually. I recall at one time the marquis reading an X rated feature,“Catherine & Co” but I think for no more than a week. The last seats in the balcony felt miles away from the screen if you got stuck there as we did for a really bad flick called “Dirty Tricks” w/Kate Jackson & Elliot Gould (I think) Still a few great Rocky Horror Midnight Movie memories. Glad that now they can show top of the line non-commercial features.Hope it stays around for decades more.
A 1985 peek of the Peak in Colorado springs.
