Saint Clair 10 Cine

Saint Clair 10 Cine was a movie theater located in Fairview Heights, Illinois, in the United States. It was part of the Wehrenberg Theatres circuit, a family-owned cinema chain based in St. Louis, Missouri, that operated screens across the Midwest for much of the 20th and early 21st centuries. The venue's name reflects its location in St. Clair County, Illinois, and its ten auditoriums, a common naming convention for multiplex cinemas of its era. As a first-run multiplex, Saint Clair 10 Cine showed mainstream Hollywood releases and served the moviegoing audience of the eastern St. Louis metropolitan area, including communities such as Fairview Heights, O'Fallon, and Belleville. The theater was one of several Wehrenberg locations in the region, alongside larger complexes such as the Ronnie's 20 Cine in south St. Louis County. The Wehrenberg chain was acquired by Marcus Theatres in 2016, and many older locations were subsequently closed or rebranded. Saint Clair 10 Cine is no longer in operation, and its former site has been redeveloped or repurposed. The theater remains a minor entry in the history of St. Louis-area cinema exhibition.

Saint Clair 10 Cine was a multiplex movie theater in Fairview Heights, Illinois, a suburb of St. Louis, Missouri. It was operated by Wehrenberg Theatres, a family-owned exhibition chain founded in 1906 in St. Louis. Wehrenberg grew to become one of the largest privately held cinema circuits in the United States, with locations throughout Missouri, Illinois, and neighboring states. The Saint Clair 10 Cine opened as a ten-screen first-run theater, typical of the multiplex building boom of the 1980s and 1990s. It served the growing population of St. Clair County, Illinois, competing with other area cinemas. The theater screened major studio releases and offered standard concessions. In 2016, Wehrenberg Theatres was acquired by Marcus Theatres, a division of The Marcus Corporation. Following the acquisition, Marcus reviewed the Wehrenberg portfolio and closed or sold several older and underperforming locations. Saint Clair 10 Cine was among the theaters that ceased operations. The property was subsequently redeveloped for other commercial uses. As of the 2020s, no cinema operates at the former site.
