The Landmark Theatres is closing its E Street cinema location after they couldn’t recover from the pandemic. The movie theater was known for showing independent films and was a staple location for D.C. residents.
Landmark's E Street Cinema, a popular movie theater in D.C., is closing its doors after 21 years of entertaining the community, Landmark Theatres announced.
Landmark Theatres decided to close the theater due to "its inability to recover in the post-pandemic environment," Mark Mulcahy, head of brand and marketing said in a statement.
“We are proud to have served its community over 21 years of operation and thank our dedicated guests and staff for their ongoing support,” Mulcahy said.
The theater opened on Jan. 9, 2004, and is known for showing international and independent films, documentaries and classic revivals. It isn't clear exactly when the theater will close down.
