There is no indication that a film cannot be shown after the restoration. It can be done if a party has interest in showing a cinema production, especially with today’s technology in digital cinematography where large projector rooms are no longer necessary.
If such equipment would be purchased along with the other technology goodies needed for stage production is beyond me, though lobbying for a digital cinema projector (if it’s not on the shopping list already) may not be a bad idea.
Something to possibly look into?
I don’t think it would hold as a modern day movie theatre with just one screen. Even the multiplex Market Place Theatre (by the Metrolink station) had to shut it’s doors (don’t know what going there now). With the performing arts departments of both UC Riverside and Riverside City College expanding, the opportunity to change the Fox into a performing arts centre may be the only chance of this place seeing any life. And besides, if promises of this place becoming a world-class theatre are met, we may just see Performance Riverside (staging company currently housed at RCC’s Landis Auditorium) and possibly The Riverside Philharmonic make a move to the Fox.

My Opinion, of course.
