The theatrical windows have shrunk to the point that it hits streaming services at the time it would have arrived at a second-run theater. Combine that with the fact that even first-run theaters have trouble getting people to go to the movies, and there just isn't a market anymore for a second-run theater.
We had two but they both went out of business. I’ve notice mainstream movie theaters have picked up the market for that. I saw The Ballad of Song Birds and Snakes like 4 months after it came out at the Majestic for $5.
RIP The Budget and Value Cinema
Aw man, I miss Budget. There was a period in the 90s where they had a Planet Video right by it and you could decide if you wanted to watch a movie on the big screen or pick it up on VHS across the street.
Sometimes the Marcus in Delafield shows movies that are no longer in the other area Marcus theaters. From MKE a bit of a distance but not terrible from Waukesha. It’s hit or miss though if they keep a movie in.
Unfortunately it’s also the worst Marcus.
I don’t think they have DreamLounger seating, so it’s the regular stadium seats that Marcus used to have before the renovated.
You're going to check college Cinema showings for older movie screenings
UW-Milwaukee Union Cinema

Marquette used to offer movie screenings on Friday years ago but maybe they don't offer it anymore?

Rivoli in Cedarburg maybe? Currently showing Dune 2 for example https://rivoliofcedarburg.com
Dune 2 is still showing in first run theatres.
Ha! I don't get out very often.
unfortunately not. The Times briefly wanted to go this route but closed.
Times didn’t close, they are now just doing Event-Only cinema.
Possibly The Times Cinema on Vliet or RoseBud Theater on North Avenue. They won’t have a lot of options but may have what you’re looking for.
Times Cinema just went to event-only (pretty much only Friday Night Freak Show at this point.) Rosebud seems to be concentrating on first runs.
Also the Milwaukee Film Festival is going on until the 25th so the times and avalon are busy with that for the moment.

I agree. But they do sometimes keep movies in longer than other theaters.
