Buckhead Theatre is a theatre located in theBuckhead neighborhood ofAtlanta,Georgia, U.S.[2]
The establishment was built in 1930 inSpanish baroque style by Atlanta architecture firmDaniell & Beutell and opened on June 2, 1930.[3] Primarily functioning as a second-run movie theater, it also hosted civic functions and concerts of the Buckhead Symphony Orchestra.[4] It was operated by Affiliated Theaters, a subsidiary of McLendon Theatres.[5] Lease holders Davis & Coart sold the lease in 1935 to the company Terry McDaniel of Montgomery.
In 1961, it converted to afirst run policy and joined the Weis Theater chain as the Capri Theatre.[6] In the mid-1980s, it was called Buckhead Cinema ‘N’ Drafthouse,[5] until it was converted into theCoca-Cola Roxy Theatre.[7]
A significant Atlanta concert venue in the 1990s and most of the 2000s, the Roxy finally closed afterLive Nation andClear Channel ended their lease in 2008. It was then purchased byAaron's, Inc., founder Charles Loudermilk.[8] After two years of renovation, the venue reopened in June 2010 under the original name Buckhead Theatre.[9]
In 2017, Live Nation resumed control of the theater as sole booker and operator, though Loudermilk retained ownership of the building.[10] Live Nation subsequently spent at least $7 millionrenovating the theater,[11] with work starting in February 2018.[12]
