We are wanting to lease several more theaters with a option to buy if we can. We have added 3 from Cinema Treasures and we thank each and every one of you who has helped.
If you know of a theater that is for rent or lease option, be it a drive-in or single screen, please inform us. Small towns are preferred. Even if it has been closed, let us know! Thank you!

The Linden-Air drive-in in Columbus, Ohio, has been long closed but at last check the stand, screen, and marquee are still intact. The land is overgrown and needs clean-up, and there may be a little environmental inspection necessary, but there would be a lot of grateful car folk to have that place back in action.

do you know how we can contact the owners,,,,,
I live in L.A. myself, I’m a Columbus native. I suppose a call to the Chamber of Commerce would yield the current landowner. Sorry that I don’t have more info to make it easier for you.
If you were feeling really ambitious, I would strongly suggest rehabbing one of the many dormant theatres in downtown L.A. The neighborhood is going through a big gentrification influx with lots of young types with disposable income, but there’s few entertainment options close by right now. There’s talk of building “entertainment developments” with multiplexes and stuff, but even those are probably decades away from happening, so this would be a chance to plant a marker down first. And of course, get lots of community goodwill.
Not sure which county the Linden Air drive in is located, but a search of on line tax records should yeild a name.
There is also the old Demille in Broadway aka Embassy 2,3 4. That would be a great theater to see reopened. Tampa had a bunch of theaters that closed in early 2000. I am not sure what happened to them but here is a list. Northdale Court 6, Main Street 5, Movies at Mission Bell, University 6, Hillsboro 8, Horizon Park 4, Varsity 6.
Hey Meheuck: The new Regal Downtown LA multiplex (across from Staples Center) will be here in 2007-08.
Are you saying that you reopened the Rialto Theatre in New Braunfels, TX?
no total sep rialto,
check out the old red barn cinema it is in a small town and i just found out that there selling it if you would like i live down the road from it i could run the movies just fine if you live far away i love it i go there all the time. i am 18 and looking for a job and would love to help you out you can contact me at
Northdale Court 6, Main Street 5, Movies at Mission Bell, University 6, Hillsboro 8, Horizon Park 4, Varsity are all about gone now, by other use or torn down.The best beat for a cinema in Tampa is the Regal Hollywood 20 which closed just 3 years after it opened in 1997.
Here is some pictures from cinema tour.com

Regarding screens in the Columbus Ohio area:
The Linden-Air may still be there, but that is in an area that has been in decline for some time. I would NOT recommend anyone reopening it.
As for other closed theatres in the area, there is a 14=plex originally Regal, then Marquee on the far east side near Reynoldsburg. Again, not a growing area. The Marcus in Pickerington takes all the business.
I heard that the owners of Studio 35 (www.studio35.com) were interested in selling. That would require a very hands-on owner. A very interesting place to see a fil.
Hello Robert of Chalet theaters (sctheaters), This is The Old Red Barn Cinema, remember the owner who changed his offer. I have contemplated several weeks about responding to a business person that in the start through up so many red flags!!! First off, never let someone try to force you into a business discission in a 12 hour period, ask the company that your about to lease with if you can have a profile of his busines and state the names and locations of the nine theaters he claims he operates, if he can’t do that it sends up another red flag. If the company can not put some earnest money up front to protect yourself, then put up another red flag. The next day I called the economic developement of Havana, Illinois where they stated that I should proceed with extream caution!! It seems you broke your lease with a cinema in Havana!!! Chalet Theaters also told a theater owner that is a friend of mine that he opperated 13 theaters. Plus what type of busines person would automattically enter a negative comment in a persons add. I really think that the sc in sctheaters stands for scam. By the way Dan Sperry and I are two different people, I enter a comment to cover his incorrect comments. Mark at The Old Red Barn
Sorry to burst your bubble, i sub leased from a company called Grande Venues, if you do a search on the internet you will find out what kind of company there are, they leased a building they could not lease, when they were forced out, i stayed there and paid the owner of the building, when i left i sold my items to him so he could keep it open, if i were you, i would get your facts straight before posting as you have opened yourself up to a lawsuit for posting somthing that is not true in a publick forem, if you contact the onwer of the building you will see that, i never got evicted not did i leave owing any rents, and yes you are one in the same, it came from the same emails, sorry
Thats the problem with you Mark, you ‘think’ there is a differnece when you think and when you KNOW by the way, if you look at your emails you have changed the email again, that is why, you are one in the same, Dan SPerry and your email were from the SAME person and email that is a FACT that we all proved there, now you have changed again to another email so you would not associate it with your other 2, as far as the theaters, you can call each and every one of them, you are the one that made the deal and backed out,its in writing, it does not matter at this point no one is buying your theater, also next time you put something in writing as you did, you might want to continue with what you said, as far as posting comments, if you post one more that you cannnot prove and i can prove your wrong, i will take it apon myself to sue you and the red bark theater, and it will costs you plenty, take care mark/dan
One more comment Mark/Dan, just remember to let folks know YOU are the one that made the offer, not me, had you not made 2 different offers in the same day it might have gone better, for your info, the funds were not the problem i went with your first offer, i did not offer you, you did me, then you changed it again, had you made one fofer and stuck with it it might have gone better, but there is another person that wears the business suit it would seem in your business, they over rode you. take care and good luck
sctheaters , this is Mark at The Old Red Barn, This is the information I was given, Yes , I should dig a little more, but the red flags on my behalf were their, this is all I am stating. Both of us should not try to condem each others add over public comments,as an ethical business man I will not enter any more comments in your site, or my add. I appologize for my bad business ethics and I hope you discontinue your remarks also. Mark at “The Old Red Barn”
How about you two take your problems to a private forum…no one here wants to hear this crap!!!!!!!!!
3stoog I would beg to differ because there are poeple that do sometimes like to hear truths, thanks
Any more theatres for sale?
Hi, I am a preservationist who is seeking parties that would be interested in an early 20th century Thomas Lamb theater in NY, which is currently endangered. It may be available for lease or sale. Please contact me at your earliest convenience for more information. Timing is crucial!
