Apex Entertainment took over operation of the Village 8 Theatres in Louisville’s St. Matthews district in 1996, the same year the company opened the Baxter Avenue Theatres. The Village 8 had previously been operated by Cinemark, since 1989.
Apex operates the Village 8 primarily as a discount house, but also as a venue for first run foreign, independent, and art house movies. The 8 auditoriums have seating capacities ranging from 77 to 183. It was closed on July 5, 2022. It had reopened by December 2022.

Apex Theatres Circuit closed the Village 8 on March 18, 2020 for the COVID-19 pandemic. After having some weekend popcorns sales, the theatre reopened June 12, 2020 but closed six weeks later on July 31, 2020. The theatre bucked the trend of discount houses that closed permanently during COVID-19 by returning with a grand reopening on July 1, 2021 playing sub-run discount films.

The theatre bucked the trend of discount houses that closed permanently during COVID-19 by returning with a grand reopening on July 1, 2021 playing sub-run discount films. Unfortunately, the vast majority of discount houses in the United States did not survive through 2021/2022. The Village 8 experimented with first-run fare beginning in September of 2021 before announcing its permanent closure on April 21, 2022 to occur at month’s end.
Last day of operation was actually 7/5/2022.
