After nearly two decades of lighting up the big screen for movie enthusiasts, Celebrity Theatres Broussard 10 announced its permanent closure on Thursday morning, October 12th. The decision comes after several months of the theater operating with limited days and hours.

Initially, the theater remained closed on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, opting instead to serve the loyal Lafayette/Broussard communities on Bargain Tuesdays and from Friday to Sunday. But now, the final curtain has been drawn.

The announcement was made public through a heartfelt Facebook post by the theater's management. The post read: "Dear Valued Guests, It is with sincere disappointment we announce that Celebrity Theatres of Broussard has permanently closed its doors." The post went on to describe the challenges of making such a difficult decision and expressed gratitude to the community for nearly 20 years of loyalty and support.

Local residents didn't waste time sharing their memories and sentiments on the post. Comments ranged from recalling first kisses at the theater to favorite movie experiences and cherished field trips. The recurring sentiment was clear: Celebrity Theatres 10 was more than just a place to watch movies – it was a community staple where memories were created.

One poignant comment read, “Oh Man, sooo sorry to hear this!! We really enjoyed going there!! Everyone will have to travel to Lafayette."

As of now, there is no official word regarding the fate of the building, whether it was sold or if there are potential plans for another theater to take its place. Locals and movie lovers alike will certainly be watching closely for any updates on this developing story.

We wish everyone at Celebrity Theatres Broussard 10 the best and express our deepest gratitude for the movies and memories they have gifted the community over the past two decades.
