Signature acquired this from Resort Theatres on 6/13/2003.

After closing in March 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic, Regal did not renew the lease and the theater was closed.

In October 2021 it was announced that Regency Theatres had acquired the theater and planned to opened it following renovations.
