Dozens of people lined up to see one last film at the Granville 7 Cinema before the curtain falls for good.
Granville Street used to be known as theatre row. Granville 7, the last one remaining, is shutting down because it’s too costly to upgrade the facility.
Patrons are disappointed to see it go.
“I think it’s sad, I mean it was the last theatre on theatre row. It was one of my reasons for coming back down to the 800 block of Granville.”
“There’s lots of nostalgia. It’s bitter sweet seeing it comes to an end but at the same time seeing everybody else move onto what else they can do.”
The theatre was home to many film festivals, including the yearly Vancouver International Film Festival, and independent movie screenings.
