Overview
- The nonprofit board says operations will end at month’s close unless roughly $70,000 is raised or a corporate sponsor steps in.
- Officials cite streaming-driven attendance declines, tougher terms for first‑run films, and rising operating costs as key pressures.
- The theater shifted to nonprofit status under the Huron Valley Film Organization in 2020 and broadened rentals and community programming to bolster income.
- Reports indicate about $70,000 is the annual break‑even need, and board members now say that same amount is required immediately to avert shutdown.
- Final screenings and commemorative events are planned through Jan. 31, with donation details available on the theater’s website and social channels.
