TUCSON, Ariz. — KGUN 9 was the first to share the news last fall: The iconic Loft Cinema on Speedway in Midtown Tucson is expanding.
Like a lot of Hollywood movies, the plan to transform the movie theater has gone through years of delays and re-writes. Talks to modernize the 52-year-old theater have going on for more than a decade. Johnson says the business model of The Loft only housing three screens is “tough,” so the project is adding two new screens. One of them will be a permanent outdoor theater complete with a rooftop bar and terrace.“I feel like now we’ll have enough to do exactly what we want to do,” said program director Jeff Yanc. “So it’s very exciting… Non-English language films, documentaries, special events. So we’ve brought a lot of culture to the community. But also a lot of entertainment.
“We’ve owned the theater 22 years and we’ve always managed to do whatever we set out to do,” said Johnson. “And this is the biggest thing we’ve done and the last big thing we’ll do.Johnson says the theater’s improvements will do even more to “put Tucson on the map.”
