Another Magic Johnson movie theater is closing down. This one’s a little special to those of us in LA. the AMC Magic Johnson at the Baldwin Hills Mall is now gone. Earvin “Magic” Johnson, CEO and Chairman, Magic Johnson Enterprises, had this to say last night:
“I am deeply saddened to learn of AMC’s decision to close the Magic Johnson Theatre at Crenshaw Baldwin Hills Mall. AMC purchased the Magic Johnson Theatres several years ago. This was my first theatre, so a piece of me will definitely close with it. I want to thank the community for their support and loyalty over the years. The theatre has truly been the heartbeat of that community. Magic Johnson Enterprises will continue to bring high quality entertainment, products and services to those communities we serve every day.”
What a surprise! Not happy at all. Magic Johnson Crenshaw was a favorite weekly haunt. Less than half a mile from our home, my family and I enjoyed the favorite martial arts flick, blockbuster extravaganza or popular smaller film. Of course we had to travel to other theaters miles away for films of quality like an independent film jewel. I hope Magic opens again; however, it is doubtful that we will patronize AMC theatres. After all, they abandoned this part of Los Angeles.
