Finally, it looks like it will be reopening this year.

New ownership must have been found. The marquee now says “Coming Soon”.

Having been closed for well over a year now, first from the fire, and then the pandemic, the theater is now apparently up for sale.

According to the marquee, the theater wont be reopening until summer. Either the fire did more damage than the news let on, the repairs are expensive so they’re spacing them out, or they’re taking the opportunity to do additional renovations unrelated to repairs from the fire.

The theater is temporarily closed after a small fire early this morning.

New management/ownership has apparently been found.

Maybe they’ll have some ideas to boost attendance. Like, perhaps, actually showing movies that were filmed in 3D in 3D. As far as I know, that has never been done under the current management/ownership.

Looks like the status might be changing to Closed after Labor Day, if a new owner isn’t found.

According to their website, they’ll be upgrading to digital projection next week. I guess they still make enough of a profit to afford the upgrade. Maybe they’ll make other upgrades as well. The last time I went there, an armrest fell off one of the seats, and you could clearly hear the movie in an adjacent screen. It was definitely better before they split it into three screens.

My wife and I went to this theater to see How To Train Your Dragon in June of 2010. Glad to see it’s still operating, but it’s showing its age even more now. It was a hot day when we went and there was a fan running in the front of the theater. This was in the biggest of the 3 screening rooms. Ticket prices are back to $1 now. Love the memories of this place, but I think it might not be too much longer before age catches up to it.

I have visited St. Andrews often, especially with my young children. We go there for the price and the small town feel. There are always very friendly people staffed there. The price just went up form $2 to $3 a few months ago. The only bad thing is, is that it is old and a little run down. Some times it smells, but for the price you pay per ticket you just have to stick the popcorn bag a little closer to your nose and you’ll be alright. Highley recommend the theater, especially if you live in the area.

Actually, the St. Andrews is located in St. Charles, MO (my hometown). I remember seeing many movies there when it was a first-run single screener (including Fiddler On The Roof). But this place really seemed to hit its stride when it became a discount house. The place was packed every Friday night and they had a guy playing an organ. On top of that, everyone in the house was really into the movie, and in a good way, not an obnoxious way. I wish they could have kept it a single screener, but I really hope the St. Andrews keeps going.
