It does appear they definitely want to put several smaller screens on the top floors and only rent/divide the 1st floor, unless of course they can get a great offer for the entire space. There would be no need to destroy the building since it pretty much is already vast open space, much easier to renovate than go new construction on a lot that size.
They sold this theater/building a few months ago, but I confirmed today that they deffinatly want to do retail stores and a theater on the 2nd/3rd floor. But I guess money will dictate what happens.
From what I heard, they are going to turn the first floor into retail shops and turn the 2nd floor into 4 small screen theatres.
I find it strange that they would shut down a month or two after repainting the place and preforming minor renovations.
However, having been given a tour by one of the painters, I can tell you most of the old stage equipment is still installed behind the big screens. Also, there are still remnants of the old billiard hall in the side stairwells.
