Future of River Oaks Theatre uncertain as lease negotiations stall
KTRK
HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- 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.
