The Centre Cinema in Rugby, North Dakota may not be open in 2013, according to an article published today in the Pierce County Tribune:
Due to an industry change all over the United States switching from film to digital, the smaller theaters are at a disadvantage.The digital equipment it takes to show this new format is too costly to purchase.
