CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The Queen City’s last remaining arthouse cinema will close permanently.
Regal Cinemas and its landlord, Eastern Federation Corp., said in a joint statement Wednesday afternoon that the Regal Manor Twin theater in Myers Park will not reopen. Although acquired by the Knoxville, Tennessee-based movie theater chain in 2008, the Manor continued to show independent films, as well as mainstream features, on its two screens.
