Wildhorse Cinema + Arts re-opens Thursday, Feb. 13, after a couple of weeks of cleaning and some renovations to the theater. A list of movies are playing Thursday night, including Captain America on pre-release. Those movies and times are listed at WildhorseSteamboat.org

• Captain America
• Paddington in Peru
• Dogman
• The Brutalist

The movie theater is now owned and being run by the nonprofit Undiscovered Earth. Dagny McKinley is the executive director.

“It has been a huge undertaking. In just 10 days, we’ve replaced all of the carpets, we’ve painted, we’ve did a deep clean of the facilities, we’ve had donations of furniture and artwork so we totally reconfigured the lobby. So it’s now a space where the community can come in. They can hang out, have a drink, just share some stories. That’s what it’s all about is becoming a community home.”

McKinley says all of the previous employees of the theater are still working there.

The theaters will still have movies, some events, and eventually some live performances. Those will start around the first of March.

There is also a new photography exhibit called Myriad of Gods, from Japanese photographers Masato Okazaki and Nobuyiki Kobayashi. This is only the second exhibit in the United States for the two photographers before the exhibit goes back to Japan. It is free to come in and see the exhibit and the pictures are for sale.

And of course, there is still popcorn.
