Looks a lot different to the church I was sent to as a kid! Anyone been there?

The situation as I understand it is that the theater has been under contract to a developer for a while now. However, the Town does not want to approve the zoning changes which would be needed to let the plan for building townhouses go forward.

There are no plans for the theater to close at this time, in fact it is turning a profit.

That’s it as I see it.

I heard 34 acres with a price tag of $13 million, but that was when they closed. It may have a higher price tag now.

It isn’t settled yet. And once it is, if it takes them as long to get their permits from the Town of Brookhaven as it does for most people, there are a couple of years left for the old theater yet.

In reply to a couple of questions above, the old indoor theater is now theater 13 and the seating capacity is 570.
On the subject of a church renting it, that’s Regal policy – it is rented through corporate headquarters and is a good economic move, not a sign of impending doom.
If Regal couls get churches to rent all their theaters nationwide on Sunday mornings – and they have a very positive campaign going on to make this happen – I reckon they would net around $13m a year. Not bad profits.
