Used to be the cheap seater for movies that were about to leave theaters. During remodeling, they discovered that the original walls were marble and in pristine condition. Now it hosts new release movies and hosts 35mm eclectic movie nights. (i.e, purple rain, back to the future, the warriors...etc)
