I'm pretty sure a few people visited the site when it was open for a few days, but I didn't see any reports at the time. Inside the building obviously isn't in it's best state, and we noticed the difference afterwards comparing our shots to some of the older reports from the late 2000s. Either way, it made for a nice morning explore before the afternoon shift.
With only a couple hours on site, we didn't have much time to take many creative shots, so these are basically to cover the building practically and quickly.
Starting off with the smaller screen.
Into the main auditorium. You can see where the owners have placed tarps to catch the water sneaking through the structure. A lot of the seats are in great condition for a place suffering like the cinema is.
A final shot from the projector room, where there was a stash of intriguing paperwork to look through.
Here you can find the link to our video coverage of the cinema. We present the site's past, present and future through cinematics and narration:
