Yet another rep theater is closing. The papers reported that the Oi
Musashinokan, known for its eclectic and "cult" programming of Japanese
films, will be closing December 31st. Its owner, Musashino Kogyo (which
runs several first run theaters) said the theater has been losing money
in the last few years due to the rise of home video. Now there are NO
rep theaters in Tokyo that show old Japanese movies every day as their
main programming (I am not counting triple-bill theaters like the
Showa-kan).
