[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not likely 9 stories, but the owners of the building rejected a proposal that would have had the space opened and active a year ago and instead it remains vacant and unused. So if the owners want to redevelop it, or make it into something else, that is their perogative.[/quote]

It will likely suffer the same fate as the Penn Theater on Capitol Hill, which was nicely restored with multi-family residential or offices on top, but no more movies.

I really hope someone with deep pockets reopens the Uptown as a working movie palace. It was DC’s last intact single screen theater and an incredible place to watch movies. Indie films could definitely fill a niche there. Even a dinner theater would be nice, like the Greek-themed ABBA one (Mama Mia the Party) that sells out in Stockholm every single night. [/quote]

I saw Ford vs Ferrari at the Uptown and it was a pretty bad movie experience.  Horribly uncomfortable chairs and terrible audio.  It needed a fairly substantial overhaul regardless.

However, movie theatres are a dying business.  Dinner theatre also isn’t particularly popular.[/quote]
