Best Answer

Due to the decline in people going to the movies in the late-1950's and early-1960's, the Fox Theatre was closed on February 15, 1963 with Boris Karloff in "The Raven" and Carl Boehem in "Peeping Tom". A special final show "Farewell to the Fox" was staged on February 16, 1963, attended by many Hollywood film stars and personalities. Before demolition, the interior funishings and decorations were auctioned off on February 28, 1963. As the auction was proceding inside the theatre, the demolition contractors crane was poised on the outside, ready to commence its work on the theatre. Demolition was completed on August 12, 1963, and it was replaced by a modern skyscraper, named Fox Plaza.
