The theatre may have been named to evoke the memory of downtown Rochester’s historic Chateau Theatre, which, though the building still exists, has been converted to a bookstore.
This theater has been acquired by Paragon Theaters of Coconut Grove, Florida. Paragon is planning to renovate and upgrade the theater before reopening it: View link
Current ownership should be Paragon Entertainment Group.
This theater has since reopened following the COVID-19 pandemic.
Proof: I looked on CMX’s website, and I saw showtimes for movies for this theater. Hell, I even saw recent pictures posted on Google for this theater.
The first four screens opened on December 15th, 2001 by Chateau Theatres, which also operated the Galleria Six, after a benefit performance on the 14th. Fully opened in February 2002. Ads posted.
CMX closed here on July 27, 2025 along with its Burnsville Odyssey location. Its parent company, Cinemex Holdings, USA had filed for bankruptcy for the second time in the decade on July 1, 2025. It had previously filed for bankruptcy protection early in the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 before re-emerging. It wouldn’t be surprising to see CMX trim back other locations during this second Chapter 11 period.
Even though CMX Cinemas said that it would be “business as usual” after its bankruptcy filing in early July, this location closed at the end of July 2025:
