In a surprise twist, Pruneyard Cinemas announces it’s staying open

Well done, movie fans: Pruneyard Cinemas is staying open.

In a twist worthy of an M. Night Shyamalan movie, the Campbell dine-in movie theater announced Friday afternoon that it was staying open, after previously announcing on Jan. 7 that both it and the Cedar Room lounge would close Jan. 25.

The theater’s managing partners declined to comment on the sudden change of fortune, but an email credited public enthusiasm and support through emails, phone calls, social media and press coverage.
