89.2/100 Coolidge Corner Theatre
Rated 4 times View History

Converted in 1933 as an art deco movie house from a 1906 Universalist church in the Boston suburb of Brookline, the Coolidge Corner has been showing movies for over seventy years. New management shifted the Coolidge Corner's schedue from first run films in 1977 as the theater became a showcase for art house and foreign films. In an effort to increase profits, the balcony was closed off and converted into a second screen. Despite the renovation, the theater could no longer turn an adequate profit and was put up for sale and nearly demolished. In 1989, the Coolidge Corner Theatre Foundation bought the theater and now houses a steady stream of art house, second run films and classic movies. The Coolidge Corner is the only currently operating Art Deco theater in the Boston area.
