theaters

Theaters have tried all kinds of tricks to convince people to come out to the movies.

In 2024, Minnesota spent $9.62 per capita on public funding for the arts, making us the #1 ranked state in public arts spending. That’s because Minnesotans have long valued the arts as part of a vibrant, thriving community, and nowhere is that commitment more observable than in the quality, breath, and depth of Minnesota’s theatrical landscape.

Theaters ain’t what they used to be — we miss all these parts of the classic experience.

Sandworm popcorn? Sounds delicious! And you’ll be able to eat some at Regal Cinemas this fall.

All nine ‘Episode’s are playing back to back to back to back in honor of May the 4th this year.

Autumn turns to winter and that means many of us will spend more time indoors. Jake Juliot from Explore Minnesota joined me on WJON to talk about theater options and shows available in the state over the next few months.

Every movie, showing, and format will be four bucks.

WJON is taking a look at former St. Cloud movie theaters. I am joined by Steve Penick and John Decker from the Stearns History Museum. The Eastman Theater was located at 21 2nd street south in St. Cloud. It opened in 1940, had seating of 464, it closed in 1967 and was since demolished.

These massive blockbusters are also massively bad.

The chain will not reopen post-pandemic.

This could be a huge deal.

The theater chain changed its policy after a customer uproar.
