Landmark Bethesda Row Cinema preparing for reopening


Workers at the Landmark Bethesda Row Cinema at 7235 Woodmont Avenue were scurrying about Tuesday, preparing for the theater's eagerly-awaited reopening this Friday, August 13, 2021. The marquee was still dark, but the ticket purchasing machines in the lobby had been activated. They were displaying movies that will be showing, including Stillwater, The Green Knight, Annette, Swan Song, Coda and Respect.


Movie theater aficionados like me will find it interesting that cartons of popping oil for the popcorn arrived yesterday, their shipping boxes stacked and waiting to be moved downstairs to the concessions area. Now it can be told: they use Odell's Classic Blend, if you want to attempt to recreate those wonderful flavors and aromas at home.

Glad to see them reopen! One of the best parts of Bethesda Row.

hope they also light up the iconic Bethesda Row Cinema marquee sign on Woodmont. It has been missed in Bethesda Row. I noted that they replaced a few pieces of broken white neon in the sign a few months ago.

Note to Federal Realty, you need to reset the clock on the sign!
