The Minor Theatre, located at 1001 H Street in Arcata, California, reopened under independent ownership in 2016.

(The oldest movie theater in California is the Cameo Cinema in St Helena, Napa Valley.

Ground was broken for the building of the theater on April 2, 1914, and the project was finished in November of that year, built in reinforced concrete for structural safety and fire-resistance.

The Minor Theater has housed the Humboldt Int'l Film Fest since 2017.
