After the Final Curtain cover

Beautiful, haunting photographs of once-glorious and now abandoned places movie theatres across America.

When the great American movie palaces opened in the early 20th century, they were some of the most lavish, stunning buildings anyone had ever seen. With the advent of television, theatre companies found it harder and harder to keep them open. Some were demolished, some were converted, and some remain derelict to this day.

After the Final Curtain: The Fall of the American Movie Theatre will take you through 24 of these magnificent buildings showing what beauty remains years after the last ticket was sold.
