Comfortably Cool commented about Paramount Theatre on Jul 14, 2020 at 7:21 am

Renovations took place over a period of months, but the Paramount was actually closed just a few days for installation of new screen and projection equipment. Made possible by deal with 20th-Fox for major releases that would have gone to the Roxy Theatre, which was about to become a showcase for the Cinemiracle process.

This has been “renovating” for decades now. I would guess that work is just resuming after a pandemic enforced suspension.
