After being dark for more than a year, Cinema Salem reopened for Memorial Day weekend 2021, showing two classics: 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY and the original JUMANJI.
We sometimes joke that opening a cinema in the middle of a pandemic may not be the best recipe for success. But with your support it's working. Thanks to your enthusiasm, your donations, your ideas, your words of encouragement, and just the way you've showed up at the movies, it's been an exciting and gratifying year, We can't thank you enough.
We've made improvements, and more are coming soon. The conversion of the old cafe to Theater Four.is finally moving along well, after a lot of bureaucratic delay. We hope to have it ready to use by the end of June — a step we wanted to take before replacing seats in the other theaters. Theater Four will let us have three screens active as we close the other theaters, one at a time, to replace seats (and refinish floors and install new carpeting).
We also expect Theater Four to be a popular space for private rentals. We invite you to check out the work in progress. Just ask one of the staff (when they're not too busy, please).
