Birmingham Electric Cinema: 18 months on from closure, what next? – BBC News

The Electric Cinema, a historic landmark in Birmingham operating since 1909, closed suddenly in February 2024, leaving film fans disappointed. The building’s leaseholder, Glenbrook, aims to “reinvent” the cinema with potential plans for high-quality screens, food offerings, and creative spaces. Campaigners are pushing for the site’s preservation and potential reopening, with discussions ongoing about the future of the iconic cinema and Station Street’s cultural significance. Birmingham City Council and Mayor Richard Parker are involved in discussions, while plans for a potential new cinema on the site are being explored.
