Calexico 10 Theatres to close its doors

CALEXICO, Calif. (KYMA) - The only movie theater in Calexico is permanently closing its doors.

Calexico City Manager Benjamin Martinez confirmed the closure of the Calexico 10 Theatres through a press release.

The decision, according to the press release, points to an unsustainable financial situation.

Calexico 10 Theatres was the city's only movie theater and was a gathering place for families along the border.

It survived the 2010 Easter Sunday earthquake and the COVID-19 pandemic.

The last day of operations is Sunday, May 3, 2026. To learn more about the theater's closure, click here.
