#1,749 - Westfield’s Mall in San Fran Losing Movie Theaters as Owner Abandons Mall to lender

Just two days after Westfield said it would give up its Downtown San Francisco Centre, the shopping mall’s movie theater has announced it will close this week.

The Cinemark movie theater complex sent an email to its customers announcing its final films would play Thursday, and the complex would close on Friday.

In a statement to The Standard, Cinemark confirmed the decision to permanently close the Century San Francisco Centre 9 and XD theater shortly before the conclusion of its lease term, attributing the shutdown to a “comprehensive review of local business conditions.”

In the theater lobby just after 9:30 a.m. Wednesday, a lone employee stood behind the ticket counter asking a coworker to check on online ticket orders, while a moviegoer wearing a San Francisco Giants jacket and cap asked for a large order of popcorn with extra butter.

Yongjian Tang and his friend Yani were at the theater to catch a Spider-Man matinee. Tang said he was surprised to hear of the closure and said he had visited the theaters off and on for four or five years.
