“After 13 years of continued service to the Houston community, the Angelika’s lease has been terminated by the Angelika’s landlord….”
No word yet as to whether the Angelika, one of a global group of affiliated theaters, will reopen outside of the Bayou Place location downtown.
As one commenter said, “Houston, a city of 5+ million, only has 1 independent/alternative theater now?” That’s just wrong. Hey, if the Alamo Drafthouse doesn’t move into the Alabama Theater, maybe the Angelika can. Can’t hurt to ask about it, that’s all I know. CultureMap has more.
That sucks. I always loved riding the light rail downtown and going to see a movie (especially cheap date night), and I always hate driving to the Greenway theater and parking in that massive garage and paying extra.
🙁
Yes, this is very disappointing. I love the culture this town has developed and hope to see more. I did see some great movies first at the Greenway – Wizards, Mad Max, Ran and others to name a few. ‘Moon’ never would have shown if not for the Angelika.
Let’s all hope it ends up finding another location, maybe in the Montrose similar area.
