Story

3 Screens. Operated by Landmark since 1997. Like the city of its location, the Main Art Theatre offers something for everyone. Located in the heart of downtown Royal Oak, it is surrounded by a number of galleries, restaurants and other one-of-a-kind businesses that have come to typify this funky enclave. The theatre was originally built in the early 1940s as a single-screen theatre. As the face of Royal Oak changed, so did that of the Main Art, embracing an eclectic mix of sophistication and fun. Today, the theatre features the Detroit area's finest selection of independent film and foreign language cinema. Each summer, the theatre hosts a midnight series, having offered new classics like The City of Lost Children as well as hometown favorites such as Evil Dead 2. The Main Art proudly serves Great Lakes Coffee, local Fair Trade and Organic.

Free parking is available on the south side of the building. Additionally, there is a parking deck located on University St. and ample metered street and lot parking available throughout Royal Oak. Ask at the Main Art Box Office for a parking map, which offers both directions and suggestions.

Amazing! The biggest positive is that they show smaller and more independent movies that bigger theaters don't show. For people like me that enjoy them, this place is a godsend. I also love the old school feel and look of this theater that's situated in a pleasant corner of downtown Royal Oak. The only thing keeping me from rating it 5 stars is the seats of the auditoriums. They are not nearly as spacious or roomy as bigger theaters and don't have head rests, but to be fair, it is a smaller theater and it's expected with their level of business. On top of that, you usually forget about the seat you're sitting in after about 10 minutes, since the movies they show are so good they make you forget!

I just love this old and beautiful Theater -I don't mind driving 25 miles just to come an attend an amazing often Independent Film that is not shown elsewhere. Always thought provoking, sentimental, or just plain fun. :-) Plus all the kids working here are always so friendly, professional, and very helpful. Thank you.

Awesome place. Drive quite a ways to see old movies. Midnight madness is so much fun

Great little movie theater, small town feel. Always showing new films, often ones that aren’t being shown at the bigger theaters. Would love if they served beer!

The theater is old, but the movies are unique. It was good showing my son what theaters looked like when I was his age
