Exciting times for Vancouver film aficionados as the iconic Park Theatre in Cambie Village gears up for a grand reopening under new management. Following its closure after a farewell screening on Sunday, the future of this beloved venue looks promising.
After the announcement of the closure by Cineplex, the team behind Vancouver’s independent Rio Theatre sprang into action. They rallied a group of dedicated filmmakers and industry professionals, including directors Osgood Perkins and Mike Flanagan, and local actor Finn Wolfhard, to back the project and bring new life to the historic theatre.
The team’s determination mirrors that of Rio Theatre owner Corinne Lea, who is enthusiastic about revitalizing the 84-year-old art-deco gem in Cambie Village. Lea expressed gratitude for the support from the accomplished film industry professionals, emphasizing the continuation of the Rio’s vibrant spirit and dedication in this new venture.
