Save Carson Stadium Cinemas

The Carson Stadium Cinemas became a part of our family in 2010 out of a deep love for the cinema and the Carson City community. We are the only family owned and operated independent movie theatre chain with a mission to bring you quality entertainment with an at home welcoming feeling to our loyal locals and visitors alike! The Carson Stadium Cinemas is run by our family, we are long-time locals who take pride in our small town theatre and in the relationships that have formed over our 19 years in business. Over the years, Carson Stadium Cinemas has become known for not only showing the highest quality blockbuster second run movies at a discounted rate. We like to go the extra mile for our private parties and corporate events. Our specially made movie theatre popcorn is one of a kind and is our locals favorite.
The COVID19 pandemic has hit movie theatres especially hard this year. We are in the business of bringing people together in our small town movie theatre but the pandemic has brought that to a drastic halt. The Carson Stadium Cinemas doors were closed on 03/17/20 and after 3 months of being closed we were able to reopen at 25% capacity, face masks and social distancing seating measures. Being closed is the first hurdle we had to overcome and the second hurdle is the film studios have no new releases for us to return with when we can reopen. Looking ahead we are faced with two major challenges for survival: Studios are delaying all blockbusters movies until the spring and summer of 2021 because of the pandemic, so we have no movies to play on the big screen. Another challenge is that a majority of our loyal locals are not yet comfortable to return to the movie theatre because of COVID.
The Carson Stadium Cinemas face the very real possibility that we will have no new movies to show until the pandemic gets under control. We don’t expect the movie theatre industry to rebound until summer or fall of 2021. Currently we need our communities help to survive and keep our small town movie theatre in operation for the next six to nine months. We will use any money raised to pay for all operating expenses.
We love being a part of the Carson City community. We hope to weather this storm and look forward to the day when we can welcome our loyal locals and visitors back with a friendly family smile, delicious popcorn, first and second run blockbuster movies and bringing family and friends back together.
