The latest turn for the Bijou also comes after an announcement late last year from the city of Balcones Heights that it was spending $5.4 million on a 46% ownership stake in the mall. Those theaters now operate as Santikos Westlakes, which began showing movies again last month, and Santikos New Branfuels, which resumed last summer. The Bijou's reported closure follows a buying spree by Santikos, which absorbed and reopened two of the Austin-based Alamo Drafthouse chain's local outlets. It took over after longtime operator Regal Cinemas shuttered the location, which it also operated as an arthouse property. Santikos has operated the theater since 2003, devoting some of its screens to foreign and art films while bolstering sales with food and alcohol. However, the Bijou no longer appears on the San Antonio-based theater operator's website, which lists 10 other area holdings. The Current was unable to reach Santikos Entertainment for comment.
