Six movies at the end

The small movie theater near me temporarily closed in March 2020 due to COVID, but then sadly never reopened. (The one movie I got to see there before the end was Knives Out—not bad…)

Whoever closed the building for good clearly didn’t take a peek around the corner, because these movie posters are still on display over two years later:

For posterity:

• Minions 2
• Invisible Man
• F9
• Trolls World Tour
• The Way Back
• The Hunt

As a friend of mine replied after I sent a photo of this sad, sun-bleached time capsule of another era: “Not a single one I’d want to hang on my wall, otherwise I’d be making some calls!”

If COVID had struck just a few months earlier, the posters for Parasite or Once Upon a Time in Hollywood might have graced these cases. But that’s March at the movies for you.
