Make time for these
The Sun Theatre opened on June 28, 1946 on Grand River Avenue, replacing an earlier Sun Theatre. The system couldn't be simpler: one first-run movie a week, shown nightly at 7 p.m., closed every Monday. There's one screen and 400 seats, and cash is the only currency at the counter. In late September 2026 it was showing Coyote vs. Acme, through October 1.
