CHARLOTTE — Studio Movie Grill has permanently shuttered its north Charlotte theater, but the Dallas-based chain isn’t ruling out a return to the market.
Studio Movie Grill confirmed its 52,000-square-foot location won’t reopen in the Prosperity Village shopping center, near Interstate 485 and Prosperity Church Road. It invested $10 million into that full-service theater, which opened in late December 2019 -- just before the pandemic hit.
North Carolina movie theaters were shuttered in March 2020 and not allowed to reopen until October, the same month in which Studio Movie Grill filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.
