Marcus Duluth Cinema Evacuated After Pipe Bursts

DULUTH, Minn. – A broken sprinkler pipe forced the Marcus Duluth Cinema to be evacuated Tuesday evening.

The break happened just before 5 p.m. in the ceiling of the entrance to the building at 300 Harbor Drive, according to the Duluth Fire Department.

Fire crews arrived to shut off the water flow and remove water from the lobby area.   After investigating, crews found a frozen pipe to be the cause of the break.

The theatre was temporarily closed as of 6:30 p.m., but a post on the Duluth Cinema’s Facebook page said they would reopen “within a couple hours.”

The theatre provided another update later that said, “We sadly will remain closed the rest of this evening and are hoping to reopen tomorrow afternoon/early evening.”
