The CaƱon City Daily Record wrote on Aug. 9, 2019 that Chuck and Marianne James planned to reopen the Skyline in the spring of 2020. “The Jameses were the third owners of the Skyline … (when they) first owned it from 1993 to 2004.” They bought it this time in May 2019 from the Nothdurft family, which owns the local 4 Mile Cinema. “The Jameses agreed not to run it as a commercial operation for a year.”

The status of the Skyline should be Closed. It closed in September 2017 and its projection equipment was moved to the 4 Mile Cinema. Story here.https://www.canoncitydailyrecord.com/2017/09/19/skyline-theater-closes-its-doors/amp/

The Skyline now operates as a first-run house in the digital age. Driving through Canon City today, they are playing X-Men: Apocalypse.

The Skyline Theater was built, as a Movie Theater, in 1918. It still operates, showing first run movies. It now seats 256. We still have the balcony(not in use by the public). It was remodeled about 5 years ago by the previous owners. Looks great. They put alot of care into it.
