We only have a few such outposts left in the US. Seattle has been a standout for decades regarding various "art houses" for classic cinema, but within the past 2 or 3 years, several of the 6 or 8 they had have closed down. The trend is down and out.

Seattle's beloved Harvard Exit theater closed about 3 months ago; the building to be renovated for office and restaurant space. It was originally constructed in 1925 for the Seattle Womens' Century Club; later sold for renovation into a theater under agreement that the ornate lobby would not be altered. A beautiful old structure in which I've seen many movies. It just felt good to sit in there, regardless of what was shown.

The multiplexes cannot operate without the Hollywood front-liners and mega-CGI flicks. No money in anything more esoteric.
