River Oaks Theatre to show support for the beloved local landmark on Sunday, March 7. Nearly 150 assembled to rally locals around the mecca of art house, local and foreign films, and popular Saturday performances of the
Rocky Horror Picture Show, which is in jeopardy as after closing for six months last year due to the coronavirus pandemic and subsequent missed rent payments to Weingarten Realty. “We want to renew our lease, and we want to work with Weingarten anyway we can, but they have not been willing to negotiate with us thus far,” says theater spokesperson Jeff Smith. As CultureMap previously reported, the venue could shutter as early as March 31 hence the public gathering.

The future of River Oaks Theatre appears to be uncertain.
The lease between Landmark Theatres, which owns and operates River Oaks Theatre, and Weingarten Realty, the landlord, is coming to an end, and ABC13 has been told negotiations to renew or extend the lease have stalled. Talks with the landlord have been periodic and intermittent, and as of late, we just have not been able to get them to try to work with us, said Paul Serwitz, the CEO and president of Landmark Theatres.
The niche venue specializes in independent films, foreign language movies and documentaries. Serwitz calls it an arthouse tailored to cult classics.
