GREAT NEWS! New A/Cs have been delivered! Next up - coordinating with a crane operator to swap out the old for the new. Then a few more steps before it's fully operational.

So far, we still plan to show Minions & Monsters. As well as The Odyssey, Spider-Man Brand New Day, and more.

The minions working at the El Cortez Theater had wrong info about THE DESERT COMPANION TOUR with MAX GOMEZ & HOWE GELB (musical performance). The Sat Aug 22 showing at the theater has been moved to Artist Abbey. For more info, visit Artist Abbey https://www.facebook.com/artistabbey

UPDATE > 8/6/26 > Temporary Closure Notice

While we work through this, we are going to open up Sat Aug 8 for a SURPRISE FREE MOVIE at 2pm, door opens 1/2hr before showtime. We won't say what it is, but we will let you know it is PG-13, and some might consider it a prerequisite watch to something out now or coming soon.

When temps are low at night, we can get it to be comfortable with one of the A/Cs going. By late afternoon it starts to warm up, making it somewhat uncomfortable for an evening show. So... if everyone could switch their routine to work at night and have the days off, that would be great... 😉 kidding.

At this time, it's looking like we will be replacing both units and are making arrangements to do so. Thanks for your patience as we get through this.

Depending on how long it takes, so far we still plan to show Minions & Monsters. As well as The Odyssey, Spider-Man Brand New Day, and more.

Temporary Closure Notice/Update 😞

Sorry to say - it's going to be a bit longer. Realistically, it could be a few weeks. The units are very old, so we are looking for a replacement.

Due to one of our air conditioners failing, we will be temporarily closed until repairs are completed. With 100+ temps outside, we can maintain temps inside at 82, which is right on the line with being too warm.

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience while we work to get everything back up and running. We’ll post updates as soon as we have a reopening date.

Temporary Closure Notice

Sorry to say - due to one of our air conditioners failing, we will be temporarily closed until repairs are completed. With 100+ temps outside, I'm able to maintain temps inside at 82, which is right on the line with being too warm.

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience while we work to get everything back up and running. We’ll post updates as soon as we have a reopening date.

Depending on how long it takes, so far we still plan to show Minions & Monsters. As well as The Odyssey, Spider-man Brand New Day, and more.

WINNERS for the Minions & Monsters Prize Package will be notified on the post that was shared. Prize tickets are good for any movie.
