A “new normal” within Boston’s Seaport will not include the ShowPlace ICON Theatre.
The luxury movie theater, featuring gourmet popcorn inspired by local chefs, a cocktail lounge and select adults-only movie showings announced its permanent closure on Monday due to challenges spurred by the COVID-19 pandemic.
“It is with a heavy heart that we announced that effective immediately the ShowPlace ICON Theatre at the Seaport is closed permanently,” according to a statement from the theater posted by the Fort Pointer Twitter account. “While we did everything we could to adjust to the constant challenges of the pandemic, ultimately it was not enough to remain open.”
