RANDOLPH, Mass. (WBZNewsRadio) — A theatre that once entertained thousands has been sold, but many questions remain about what will replace the staple.
Several hundred movie theatres have closed across the nation since COVID. The Showcase De Lux Cinema Building along 139 in Randolph is one of them. The theatre, which opened in the 90's, was a marvel for moviegoers from Brockton the South Shore.
The theater was just sold to Boston-based Core Investments, with development plans in the works, but those plans are being kept under a tight lid for now.

AMC Braintree showcased at Legacy Place in Dedham, and a few others aren't far from here, but there was certainly something special about this theater. Ryan, a millennial in his 30s, was devastated when it closed back in March.
"Definitely sad to see because there were so many memories." "So many good times here."
Core Investments says they have plans in the works to be announced at a later date. However, those who live in the area have to head elsewhere.
