Challenges of virus shutter Cinema Grill ROSA SALTER RODRIGUEZ | The Journal Gazette The Cinema Grill in Fort Wayne's Northwood shopping center has closed for good. For 22 years, the grill was known for allowing patrons to enjoy dinner and a movie at the same place. But its business model became unstable because of the coronavirus pandemic, its owners said. “Unfortunately, the restrictions on restaurants still in place combined with the movie studios either delaying numerous releases to later in 2021 or releasing them to streaming platforms directly make our current business model unstable,” a Facebook message posted Tuesday says. Owner Jody Wiedenhoeft said Wednesday the business tried to adapt to changing conditions throughout 2020.
