It would be downright tragic if this property were redeveloped. It's perfect as it is. Surely it's turning a profit. C'mon, Howie...buy it back and hire a manager to run it. It's an irreplaceable landmark.

or between movies at a double or triple feature? Isn't there a 10-15min break between movies?

Why is my spell check tingling? Is it theatre in Canada, theater in the US?

I haven't been to something so run down and lacking in general maintenance since the night I wound up in the downtown eastside's Funky Winkerbean.

I guess I can see how someone might want to have a few beers while at a (for example) martial-arts triple featureWhy not drink right in the seats? The Royal Theatre now is licensed to have 1400 people drinking in their seats, why not at the Roxy? Although I'm not sure if there isn't something right in the liquor rules prohibiting it in movie theatres...

The Roxy is a pathetic excuse for a movie theatre.
I haven't been to something so run down and lacking in general maintenance since the night I wound up in the downtown eastside's Funky Winkerbean.
I refuse to go there at any price due to the complete disregard for regular maintenance. Stains on the walls, even on the screen!!, sticky floors, stained seats and a smell you'd expect in a public bathroom all do little to encourage patronage.
Unless someone is willing to return the theatre to its former glory, I won't shed a tear if the place is torn down.
And for what its worth I used to frequent the Roxy before Howie began plans to offload it.

...the attendant looked and acted like he would jack you if you came across him in a poorly lit alley.

I couldn't for the life of me tell you which is right, but I know they're both right somewhere...

It is Theatre in Canada expect our print media decided years ago to use American spellings and therefore we get confusion.
$1.2 million... Does that include the land?
It is a space that can work for live theatre and music as well, it does not need to only be a movie theatre. I saw a production by Mark Leiren Young in there in the late 1980s.
If one were to hold concerts in there four times a month, I think that could be a good boost to the income.
My big down side for considering anything to do with the place is the quality of the building. It has always struck me as being pretty low quality construction.
