Neonopolis Galaxy Theatres to close
Our beloved Neonopolis movie theaters will close after tomorrow.
Recently purchased by Galaxy Theatres, these theaters once were our favorite place to go to catch a flick, mostly because we felt like it was our personal screening room, with barely anyone ever there. One matinee, we were the only ones in the audience.
It was also one of the cheapest ticket rates.
Lately, all of Neonopolis has been criticized for the lack of central air conditioning. Developer Rohit Joshi has been in a dispute with certain costs of the air conditioning contractor, and until it's resolved, Neonopolis has lost its cool.
With temperatures zooming up as we begin the summer, this would make seeing a movie more than a bit uncomfortable.
While the heat is only a recent reason, we suspect the writing's been on the wall for the downtown Fremont movie theater for quite awhile now.
Galaxy also runs the movie theaters at the Cannery (the original one on Craig) and will soon open at the new M Resort (on St. Rose off I-15).
