David Keith,Sly Stallone,Brian Dennehy,Richard Crenna,all have been guests at this old movie house,
Kevin Larson the owner still keeps this theater running..it is a true gem. He recently upgraded to digital in order to keep it still open at great personal cost. As a result some local people have now a monthly screening of old favourites…recently The Wizard of Oz…the first movie I ever saw on the big screen back in Durban South Africa

The Hope Cinema is closed.
During its final year of operation, the Hope Cinema briefly went under the name “New Hope Cinema” for almost a year screening both first-run and classic movies until its closure on August 27, 2024 with one last run of “E.T.” due to poor business, marking the end of almost 80 years of operation since the theater’s opening on December 19, 1944 as the Hope Theatre.
The theater immediately went up for sale but Mayor Victor Smith replied that the district isn’t planning to buy the beloved-but-unprofitable cultural institution. Smith gave special gratitude to the operators by applauding to them who support the operations of the theater.
The New Hope Cinema officially closed as of August 27, 2024, per this article from the Hope Standard:
