jgriff Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Tickets and concession sales are the key to saving it. Everyone who wants to save the theatre needs to give them some business. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gene Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 got this email just now: Dear Loyal Supporters, Regrettably, after 45 years of bringing Houston the best of art house cinema, today is Landmark Theatres' last day of operation at the River Oaks Theatre. We have been so incredibly fortunate to have made movie memories with you all, from the early days of classics and cult favorites to the Oscar contenders that played for weeks, and those raucous late night audience participation staples THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW and THE ROOM. Thank you for being a friend. Thank you for sharing your personal connections to the River Oaks over this past month. We agree that movie theaters are sacred spaces and we hope that the Friends of the River Oaks can preserve and protect this special place that has brought so much to the cultural landscape of Houston. It isn't goodbye. In the wisdom of NOMADLAND, we'll see you down the road. When Landmark lands in a new location, if you are on our email list, you better believe that you will hear from us. Sincerely, Paul Serwitz President and COO, Landmark Theatres 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urbannizer Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Maybe this will affect future phases https://www.bizjournals.com/houston/news/2021/04/15/kimco-realty-to-acquire-weingarten-realty.html?cx_testId=40&cx_testVariant=cx_27&cx_artPos=2#cxrecs_s 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_cuevas713 Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 This could really affect the future of River Oaks Theater. I lost hope in Weingarten but it's possible we see Kimco Realty rehab this jewel in our city. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texasota Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 I live in hope, but the vast majority of Kimco's properties are awful and deeply unambitious. I do see one exception though - Lincoln Square in Philadelphia. It even includes the adaptive reuse of a historic building. So maybe. maybe.

Really wish they would have developed the ex-Americas/Barnes & Noble section with similar style. Would have looked 100x better. The white to off-white, terrible stone choices, then you have this clean thing. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IntheKnowHouston Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 (edited) Another restaurant addition is coming to the River Oaks Shopping Center. Some of you may have seen alcohol notices, building permits, or the listing on River Oaks Shopping Center directory for Atrium River Oaks in the last year. I think it will be located in the unit previously occupied by Citibank at 1971 W Gray St. Despite the name listed as Atrium River Oaks, the restaurant's actual name is Cocody. The chef-owner of French restaurants Le Ministral and Bistro 555 is involved with this restaurant. According to LinkedIn, Cocody will possibly have a globally-centric menu. https://www.riveroaksshoppingcenter.com/directory/ https://cocodyhouston.com Edited January 21, 2022 by IntheKnowHouston added website 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nate Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Interesting name. I tried to figure out what it means and the only thing I can come up with is the Cocody is the name of an upscale suburb of Abidjan, Ivory Coast. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cocody 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose further details will be announced or reported soon. It will be interesting seeing how the space is transformed. Also interested in seeing how this will perform with Brasserie 19, Perry's, and Hudson House (when it opens) since it will probably have a similar price point as those businesses.

It will have to have a high price to support the rent, especially on such a big space (6,198 sf). I think there's plenty of business out there, but they do need to distinguish themselves from other nearby restaurants. On that point, B19 and Hudson House have pretty similar menus and are right next door... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
