Fortune Fortuna- June 2023

What is happening with the Fortuna Theater?

The Fortuna Theater has been a big mystery since it’s closure from the December earthquake. Rumors circulated of everything from a mold outbreak from sprinklers breaking, to the entire building cracking in half making rounds as people asked, “When is the theater going to reopen?”.

Recently, posts on the Fortuna Happenings Facebook group have confirmed, or at least responded to some of the questions about the theater. Including a response to a concerned community member from the district manager of Cinema West.

‘Corporate told us to find new jobs. So even we don’t know. Just know I wish I still had my job.’ -A commenter in the Fortuna Happenings group.

‘Hi Janet, I was the GM at the Fortuna Theatre. I still have no updates to give at this time. Just like everyone else I am waiting for an update from the corporate office. They are currently busy with another remodel and when they are finished hopefully we’ll see an update about the Fortuna Theatre. You can also reach out to the corporate office via email at [email protected]m‘ -A commenter in the Fortuna Happenings group.
