Originally built as the Regent Theater in 1912 in the Rogers Park neighborhood of Chicago, this was one of its earliest movie houses and originally sat about 725 in its auditorium. In 1930, the theater was renamed the 400 Theater.
In 1990, it was divided into four small auditoriums, three seating about 200, one only about 150. It was purchased by the owners of the Village Theater in the Old Town neighborhood and modernized, and given the name of the Village North Theater. For the last several years, the theater was operated by Village Entertainment.
In September 2008, the former Village North began operating as Visionary Theaters, but by January of 2009, the theater was closed.
It was reopened again as the New 400 Theaters on July 1, 2009.
