The AMC CLASSIC Bloomington 11 theater, located at 1351 S College Mall Rd., will close Sept. 15. The theater, originally named Kerasotes ShowPlace East 11, was acquired and renamed by AMC in 2010.
In an email, Barry Brakeville, director of corporate communications at AMC, said the location will cease operations effective Sept. 15.
“AMC routinely reviews the theatres in our circuit, as well as opportunities outside of our circuit, and makes decisions based on what will best strengthen the Company going forward,” Brakeville said in the email.
