With Cinema Chatham shut down, only two movie theaters remain on the South Side
Even before Cinema Chatham unexpectedly closed last week, it was hard to find a movie theater on the South Side.
Years ago, Chicago used to be home to over 100 movie theaters. But with the closure of Cinema Chatham, just 16 are left, according to a Chicago Reader investigation. And the vast majority are located in the Loop or on the North Side, leaving the South Side with few options.
Reset talks with a journalist who looked into movie theater access in the city, plus a big fan of Cinema Chatham, about this issue.
