ForgttenDayton commented about Downtown Cinemas on Apr 27, 2026 at 10:33 am

The theatre had 14 screens originally. The closed 1-3 so it could be used for World Poke in an effort to get people to the Neonoplis. The shopping never took over. When it opened only 42% of the spaces were filled. Of those, more when on the lower level. The food court and theatre was on upper levels. The food court only had 2 restaurants being used of 13 spaces when the shopping mall opened. Neonopolis was never called a “ mall ”, nut that is how Neonopolis was marketed. Crown Theatres pulled out and Galaxy Theatres took over Despite poor numbers Galaxy Theatres wanted to remain at Neonopolis. The theatre closed because the air conditioning has been out for over 6 months. Galaxy Theatres believed the Neonopolis management should fix the issues. Neonopolis said Galaxy Theatres has to make repairs and said it as in the NNNN lease they sub-leased from Crown Theatres. When the Galaxy Neonopolis is was originally was to be temporary. Galaxy Theatres went back and fourth and finally closed the theatre permanently. Neonopolis management, Crown , and Galaxy all filed lawsuits against each other. Downtown Las Vegas does not support movie tgeatres. Neonopolis lasted 8 years and Downtown Cinemas lasted exactly 9 years,3 names and 3 owners. Opening as Eclipse Theatres 12-8-16, closing and not reopening due to the 2020 pandemic. Reopened on June 3, 2021 as the Art Houz Theaters. In 2023 it was renamed Downtown Cinemas, and was closed on December 7, 2025. Now with $22 million spent of this failure of a movie theatre, new owners are spending another $5 million to transform it into an arts center.

ForgttenDayton commented about Cinema 6 on Apr 24, 2026 at 11:37 am

50sSNIPES like on 85% of his comments is wrong once again. Not sure why they let him leave comments. Danbarry was founded in 1989 after buying Middletown Cinemas , then 6 screens and later expanded to 10. Danbarry did build a 10 screen theatre in Chillicothe before the chain closed during the pandemic. Along with Chillicothe 10, Danbarry Dollar Savers 12, South Dayton and Huber Heights. The Chillicothe 10 was sold to owners of Silver Screen VII and Tri-City 4. Danbarry allowed the new owner to still use the Danbarry name. The Chillicothe Cinema 6 was from the 1990s into early 2000s was operated by Regal Cinemas before being closed. After being closed for several yeas the theatre was taken over by failed start up chain The Bargain Box Office. The Bargain Box Office took this theatre shortly after reopening the Beaver Valley Cinemas as The Bargain Box Office. The chain failed horribly. The Beavercreek location made head lines when the general has done some drugs and kicked in a neighbor’s door, thinking it was his. He got naked and got into bed. He was arrested and the news did the story in front of the theatre. The Bargain Box Office then removed the seats from two theatres it Chillicothe and put a mini golf set-up in. They did not tell the landlord and were sued. While that was pending the Bargain Box Office was evicted by both landlords of the theatres for back rent. And that was the end of the chain. 50sSNIPES PLEASE I BEG YOU FACT CHECK BEFORE POSTING.

ForgttenDayton commented about Regal Round Lake Beach Stadium 18 on Apr 10, 2026 at 11:07 pm

SET TO REOPEN IN 2006 AS 7 SCREEN FUN N FURIOUS ENTERTAINMENT CENTER. PICTURES POSTED. … The Village of Round Lake Beach and Thakkar Developers are excited to announce a vacant movie theater in the Rollins Crossing Shopping Center will be transformed into a vibrant family entertainment center.

The new facility, located at 550 E. Rollins Road, will feature an array of attractions, including seven movie screens, a full-service restaurant, games, and other exciting amenities.

The 72,000-square-foot entertainment center will also offer axe throwing, a potential multi-level, indoor, electric Go-Kart track, and space for meetings and parties.

Thakkar Developers is expected to submit final plans for the development this summer, with the anticipated grand opening in 2026.

“We are thrilled with the plans we have seen already by the developer,” said Round Lake Beach Mayor Scott Nickles. “When this facility opens, it will offer something for everyone and truly be a major draw for Round Lake Beach, attracting not only residents from our village, but visitors from across Lake and McHenry counties.”

The movie theater, which had been closed since January 2023 due to Regal Cinemas’ bankruptcy and subsequent closure of 39 locations nationwide, will now undergo a major revitalization under the vision of Thakkar Developers of McKinney, Texas.

This project marks their second family entertainment center concept and will be modeled after their planned center in Irving, Texas.

“This new project will not only create local job opportunities, but it will also position Round Lake Beach as a go-to destination for families throughout Lake County,” said Gil Rivera, Economic Development director for the Village of Round Lake Beach.

Round Lake Beach officials recently toured the Texas-based facility, where they were impressed by the concept and potential for success. With the transformation of the property, this new entertainment hub will join existing community partners in providing retail, food, and family-friendly entertainment venues in the community.

“This project, along with the addition of new restaurants currently in development, is a continuation of the Mayor and Board’s vision of enhancing our already vibrant retail and entertainment corridor,” said Gil Rivera.

About Thakkar Developers Thakkar Developers is a mixed-use development company based in McKinney, Texas, with a strong focus on creating dynamic spaces that enhance local communities. This project represents their commitment to bringing innovative family entertainment options to new locations.

ForgttenDayton commented about Danbarry Cinemas Chillicothe 10 on Dec 6, 2025 at 8:30 pm

This was the last Danbarry built. There were 6 new Danbarry there’s to opening including Chillicothe, Washington Court House, Marion, and Anderson Township. Two additional theatres were set for Tennessee. Danny who had the theatre brains from his time with Mid-States and Barry was the investor. As Danny wanted to expand first run theatres, this started the riff within Dan a dry Management. The other new theaters were cancelled and the properties were put up for sale. Soon into the riff, Barry cut funding Danbarry began their freefall.
