The four founding Warner brothers opened their first movie theater in New Castle, Pennsylvania, in 1903. They would bring an old projector to cities without a movie house in Western PA and Ohio and show films in a tent. They opened their own chain of theaters. The Warner Theater located in Erie, Pennsylvania was opened in 1931. It was used as a movie theater until 1976, when it was sold to the City of Erie. In the early 1980s, Erie converted the theater to a performing arts center, which has become the focus of a downtown revival.
