Fitchburg, MA: Cinemaworld Closed [Apr 8, 2024]
From WBZ-TV/CBS Boston 3/25/2024:
FITCHBURG - A movie theater in central Massachusetts is closing for good at the end of the month after nearly three decades in business. Cinema World in Fitchburg says its last day will be Sunday, March 31.
“We can’t thank you enough for making Cinema World as your go-to movie theater over the past 28 years!” the seven-screen theater posted to Facebook. “Stop by to see your last movie at Cinema World and enjoy some of our delicious popcorn!”
Owner Dave Fedeli told the Sentinel & Enterprise that the theater isn’t making enough money to pay rent.
“I can’t sign a long-term lease and I’m losing money,” he told the newspaper. “It’s all about business. I can’t stay open.”
Movie theaters have struggled since pandemic Despite last summer’s “Barbenheimer” box office success, movie theaters have struggled since the start of the COVID pandemic that forced many to shut down for several months.
The Fitchburg Cinema World ends on March 31, 2024.
