Saenger Theatres, Inc. no longer exists. The Saenger organization was absorbed by Paramount/Publix. Ownership of the Saenger theatres then split farther apart, some remaining with ownership partners in the original theatre, some acquired by Richards-Paramount theatres, & later acquisition by ABC/Paramount & ABC/Midsouth.

The theatres of the Saenger chain were each at some point finally sold to private owners or donated to public institutions.

 

Many of the theatres remain in existence & in operation.
This web site is a study of the Saenger organization & its theatres.
