Tucson’s last discount movie theater has gone dark.
The Gateway Century 12 building at 770 N. Kolb Road, has been sold to developers whose plans have not been announced.
The 45,556-square-foot building sits on a 6-acre parcel just south of Speedway.
Its closure is reflective of the challenge facing movie theaters, said Greg Furrier, a retail broker with Picor, who handled the sale.
“The pandemic, coupled with other problems such as streaming of first-run movies, etc., have taken their toll,” he said. “There are lots of things pushing and pulling on the industry.”
