The Roxy Theater is one of my favorite places in Missoula. Heck, it might be one of my favorite places anywhere. So when the Roxy released its annual impact report, I had to check it out.

It shows "how the Roxy's grown and changed with our community."

Here is the Roxy by the numbers over the last year.

  • 84,412 people attended a Roxy showing, up 6% from last year.
  • 42,102 bowls of popcorn were served, up 8% over the year.
  • There are 3,091 Roxy members, up 5% from last year.
  • 461 unique films were screened last year, up 25%.
  • 231 volunteers helped make the Roxy the great place it is.
  • 270 community partnered paired up with the Roxy, up 4%

The Roxy also saw some renovations last year. Theater 1 received "a major upgrade with the installation of a new state-of-the-art laser projector and a much needed new screen."

As we speak, The Roxy is in the process of upgrading theaters 2 and 3 thanks to the community's effort during Missoula Gives.

"All that the Roxy Theater is would not be possible without your support. A heartfelt thank-you to our more than 3,000 members, our 84,000 guests, and our 270 community partners. Your patronage and donations make it possible to have a strong and thriving community cinema for all of us to enjoy." - The Roxy Theater in their annual impact report

The theater brought in $1.8 million, but racked up $1.6 million in expenses. Good thing the Roxy is still coming out on top, but I always appreciate that they don't aim to maximize their profits. Instead, they support a fully staffed crew.

Famous Montanans A-Z

We put together an A-Z guide of Famous Montanans. People count if they were born here, raised here, live here, went to school here, or have a substantial connection to Montana. We couldn't find an 'x' entry and we had to cheat on 'z' by using a first name. If you have any other recommendations, please let us know.
