Greenbelt Cinema

[1][2][3] In 2002, the owner of the property threatened to close it down and replace it with a dollar store or other retail establishment.

The City of Greenbelt stepped in to purchase it and ensure it remained a movie theatre.

The City eventually did gather the funds to perform major renovations from 2014–2015.

The renovation includes new digital projection equipment, a new 35MM projector for archival screenings, a restored lobby and ticket booth, restroom improvements, and an enhanced concession area.

Seating 368 patrons in its Main Auditorium and 40 in its auxiliary auditorium (The Screening Room), the theater is one of the only nonprofit and two-screen movie theaters located in the state of Maryland.
