Other theaters in Grand Forks included the Columbia four, Starland, SkyVu (drive in) and South Forks Plaza.
These have been supplanted by Midco 10 in Grand forks and Riverview Cinema in East Grand Forks.
In Fargo, one of the earliest theaters is The FArgo.... It was built in 1926
The theater is still standing and runs first run independents, foreign and documentaries. They also have concerts, classic movies, and silent films.. They have two screens. They occasionally get first run films from the major studios. They aired Ironman when Marcus Cinema owned theatres refused to run them. Needless to say Fargo theatre was more than happy to run them.
Josh Duhamel is from ND and has always supported the state. Fargo theatre thought it was the least they could do to honor a person who always given back to his home state.
