Ky Boyd, owner of Rialto Cinemas in Elmwood and El Cerrito, was finally able to relight his neon signs and ticket booths Saturday and Sunday to host Popcorn Pick-Up, even if updated health guidelines prevented his plan to reopen the theaters for Thanksgiving.
Boyd, who said his childhood dream was to own a theater, began leasing the two theaters in 2007 and 2009. Since then, Rialto Cinemas has become a “community treasure,” as described by many of its patrons.
