ABOUT US, Coyote Twin Theater
ABOUT US
MOVIES THE WAY THEY'RE MEANT TO BE SEEN
The Vermillion Cultural Association purchased the Coyote Twin Theater in July 2015 to preserve it from abandonment and demolition. Since then, we have—with the help of some key partners—invested over $300,000 to renovate and refresh both auditoriums and our lobby; purchased state-of-the-art sound, projection, and lighting for the auditoriums; and built a cinema culture that Vermillion and the greater community can be proud of.
The Vermillion Cultural Association is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the inclusion of art in everyday life. We independently own and operate the Coyote Twin because we believe in the necessity and power and fun of movies. It's a labor of love as much as it is our mission. You can learn more about our other endeavors at vermculture.org.
While streaming and rental services offer film lovers a wide variety of entertainment to enjoy in the privacy of their homes, watching a film on the big screen is a rich and irreplaceable experience—for one thing, we have better popcorn! Hope to see you at your local, nonprofit cinema soon. 🍿

Pricing
We work with a third-party booker to secure the license to screen your film of choice. Depending on a film's age, popularity, and distributor, licenses range from $150 to $325. In addition to the license, there is an audittorium rental/operations fee. Once you request a title, we can investigate the exact cost of the license and book that film for the date of your choice. Please be aware that due to its extremely strict regulations, we cannot show Disney or Disney-affiliated titles (i.e., films by Twentieth Century Fox, Pixar, etc.).
Popcorn
During your special screening, our concessions counter will be open and staffed so guests can enjoy fresh popcorn, fountain drinks, and candy. We ask that you do encourage your attendees to make a purchase, as it's the best way to support our nonprofit cinema. We offer reduced rates on concessions packages for groups or sponsors who would like to pay for their guests' pop and popcorn.
ADA COMPLIANCE
The Coyote Twin is equipped with assistive listening devices for our patrons with visual or hearing impairment. We offer closed captioning, enhanced audio, and audio description in accordance with Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act. This technology is compatible with all digital studio films, including new releases and currently airing features. If you or your guest need service, please arrive in advance of the projected start time and ask our staff to set you up.
