Youngstown, OH: Cinemark Movies 8 Closed

Posted on Tuesday, April 1, 2014 and updated on Monday, April 28, 2014 10:30 AM

Cinemark logoThe Cinemark Movies 8 - Youngstown in Youngstown, Ohio closed in March 2014. The last update we received to their showtimes was on March 21st, so it probably closed after that weekend.

WKBN 27 published a story on their web site that says that the theater closed because of the lack of updated equipment to handle the industry transition to Digital Cinema Projection systems:

The Movies 8 theater in the Shops at Boardman Park will show its final movie at the end of the month.The discount theater, owned by Cinemark, will close at the end of March. Cinemark also owns Tinsletown in Boardman, which shows first-run films.

Property manager Celeste Lisko said proceeds at the theater were very good, but digital advances in film are making it more difficult to show movies at the theater. Lisko said Movies 8 has two or three digital screens and almost all new movies are run with a digital projector, and upgrades to the theater would be cost prohibitive.

Moviegoers in the Youngstown area will need to visit the other theaters nearby, including the Regal Cinema South 10 and Cinemark Tinseltown USA - Boardman. For discounted movies, it appears that the closest choice is Encore Cinema in Niles.
