The ceiling at a super old movie theater in New Jersey totally collapsed Wednesday evening, according to town police, which caused everyone inside to evacuate in a hurry. Cranford Police got a call about the whole ceiling situation at the Cranford Movie Theater on Route 28 around 7:30 p.m., and they were like, “Oh no, we gotta check this out.” When they got there, they saw that the theater was still open and had people in it when the ceiling decided to come crashing down.
The first responders were like, “No way, this is crazy,” but they quickly made sure that everyone had gotten out safely. Luckily, no one got hurt in the chaos. The building was all messed up because of the ceiling collapse, and they were trying to figure out why it happened in the first place.
The Cranford Movie Theater has been around forever, opening up as The Branford Theater back in 1925. Then, two years later, they were like, “Let’s change the name to something different,” and that’s how it became the Cranford Movie Theater, according to NJ.com.
So, yeah, that’s the whole story about the ceiling collapse at the Cranford Movie Theater. It’s a pretty wild situation, and I’m not really sure why this matters, but it’s definitely something to talk about. Maybe it’s just me, but I feel like old buildings always have these kinds of issues. Anyway, let’s hope they can fix it up soon and get back to showing movies to the good people of Cranford.
