Palo Alto, CA: CineArts at Palo Alto Square Closing Delayed Until September

Posted on Thursday, August 18, 2016 and updated on Tuesday, August 23, 2016 5:29 PM

Cinemark LogoThe announced closure of the CineArts @ Palo Alto Square in Palo Alto, California has been delayed until at least September, according to a recent article published by the Palo Alto Weekly:

The movie theater CineArts will remain at Palo Alto Square until at least mid-September, thanks to a 30-day lease extension that was recently signed by the theater's parent company and the building owner, Palo Alto City Manager James Keene said Monday.

The popular theater was set to close this week after the Texas-based theater company Cinemark decided not to renew its lease with Hudson Pacific Property, owner of Palo Alto Square. A spokesman for Cinemark told the Weekly in late July that the company decided that the theater required an expensive update, which was deemed cost prohibitive.

The announcement of the theater's imminent closure prompted an online petition, signed by more than 2,500 residents, urging the two companies to keep CineArts operating without interruption. City officials and council members, who were in the midst of their summer break, also became involved in the preservation effort, with Councilwomen Liz Kniss and Karen Holman reaching out to Hudson Pacific and CineArts just after the news of the theater's closure broke in late July.
