Theater or Theatre?

"Theatre" isn't in my webster's dictionary. Should this be change to "theater"? --TheYellowDart—(t/c)

"Theatre" is an alternate spelling that should appear in any good dictionary. - Qermaq - (T/C) Image:Qermaqsigpic.png 22:59, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
Wiktionary confirms what I suspected: in US Englilsh, "theatre" primarily refers to live performances, while "theater" is usually used for cinema. I say this article should be moved to The Movie Theater. Trey56 23:15, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
