Post Falls Theater Closing Doors

"It is with a heavy hand and a sorrowed heart that I write this letter. This Sunday, January 29, 2012 Post Falls Theater will close. This property has been sold to a local church and the building will be converted for that purpose. Even though the sale of the building is the technical reason for closing there is one immutable truth in what brought us to this point. Our community that we have so generously supported throughout the years failed to support us in return. With the population of Post falls alone our business should have flourished. It would be easy to blame the economy but that is not the case. Harry Potter 7: P2 had sold in its opening week $170 million in ticket sales. We had 1 copy of the movie and did not sell out 1 showing while the Riverstone had multiple copies and was sold out for almost a week"/Julius Vinchinsky, Post Falls Theater. More here.
