This bland, undistinguished triplex was originally opened as the Maple 1-2-3 on March 23, 1977 by Suburban Detroit Theaters. It was acquired by AMC (the cupholders still have the AMC logo on them) in 1992 and by Landmark Theatres in 1998. In the summer of 2012 it was taken over by an independent operator. It was closed on February 5, 2024.

According to a an article that appeared in the October 14, 2012 edition of Crain’s Detroit Business, a $1.5 million dollar makeover should be complete by November 1, 2012 (subscription required to view article).

Here is another article about the renovated theater’s reopening.
March 23rd, 1977 grand opening ad in photo section.
This is a great 3-screen theater tucked behind strip mall development. It specialized in art, foreign, and independent films for nearly two decades before being switching to “upscale” cinema (critically acclaimed mainstream hits with independent films).
It has been tastefully renovated multiple times in the past several years to include a small cafe, a coffee shop with a fireplace and now a grab-n-go fast casual food set up.
This theatre was known as the AMC Maple 3 through the 80’s and 90’s. On April 24, 1998, it became known as the Maple Art Theatre after Landmark Theatres took over AMC’s lease. AMC was looking to rid themselves of smaller venues nationwide and move to and build bigger venues with more screens.
The Maple Theater abruptly closed yesterday, 2/5/24.
