Theatres are closing everywhere in the USA because as someone said it is a dying business. With that in mind, my best guess is that whoever ran/owned the theatre in Brownwood probably went bankrupt as well. The developer does not run the theatres as far as I know. If anything, he merely has a rental agreement with the company and nothing more. Once the buisness is deserted, the developer must find someone else to lease the property. If a movie company is not interested there is nothing that can be done. Move on, and find another way to lease the property.
I do not recall ever reading that someone else owned the Rialto Theater.

And they seemed to be doing very well before COVID.
