Theater Closings Articles
The Grand Illusion Cinema is planning to close its location on 50th and University Way in Seattle, Washington, with hopes of opening a new but undisclosed location on an undetermined date.
According to the theater's website, it will be closing January 31, 2025. The lease expires in February 2025. The theater building was sold in 2023, and the theater at the time mentioned that it was unsure of its future at this location past that lease expiration date.
While the website does mention that they intend to open a new location, there is no concrete plans included in that statement. It is hoping that people will donate to their cause and intends to host pop-up events around Seattle in conjunction with the Northwoest Film Forum in the meantime.
For more information, you can find the theater's official website and social media links on its Related Sites page.

The movie theater intends to show moves until the end of January, so you can see what's playing and when by visiting the Showtimes page for the Grand Illusion Cinema.
Once it closes, however, moviegoers in the area will need to visit one of the other nearby theaters, including the AMC Seattle 10 and the Varsity Theatre.
