Scott Neff commented about AMC Dine-In South Bay Galleria 16 on Feb 20, 2024 at 8:01 am

Before this theater opened General Cinema operated multiple theaters inside the parking lot that surrounded the Redondo Beach Galleria and ultimately advertised them as one complex. Each originally a single screen, their last designations as General Cinema were Cinema 1, Cinema 2-3, and Cinema 4-5-6. When this theater opened the Cinema 4-5-6 limped on as a discount theater known as the Redondo Cinema 3, which has a separate listing here.

Great Western Theaters this theater as the Great Western 4 on May 25, 1987. Though there were discussions that Pacific would assume operations the never appear to materialize. The theater was torn down to make way for the Mountain Gate 7.

This is a photo of the Southgate Cinema 20 in Michigan, not the Edwards/Regal in California.

Scott Neff commented about Eric Twin on Feb 7, 2024 at 4:23 pm

I’m late to the game – From the 5/4/1988 edition of the Allentown Morning Call. A representative from UA was attributed as saying “The sale did not include five Sameric theatres in Harrisburg and Princeton, N.J.” The U.S. Justice Department prohibited United ARtists from acquiring those because the company owned enough theaters in those markets,"

Am trying to find reference to who may have operated it after Sameric, if indeed this is one of the five UA never operated. I see it continuing as the Eric Lawrenceville until around 1992, so interesting that if it wasn’t UA, they were able to continue to call it the Eric Theater.

I’m certain Arrowhead was always 14. The grand opening ad on their page shows it as 14 when it opened.

To my knowledge this was never the Marin County Motor Movies, but always Marin Motor Movies.

An article in the 7/15/1990 edition of The South Bend Tribune reported that the Millers, a local family that operated theatres in Elkhart had just sold their operations to GKC Theatres. The transaction included GKC assuming the lease of this theatre.

So wait… THE THEATER WILL NOT BE CLOSED FOR GOOD! Good thing I didn’t cut my losses. ;)

Checking Historic Aerials – it does appear that the original Martin Twin/Triple was torn down when the 9-plex was built. Late 90s/ealy 2000’s.

Scott Neff commented about Coliseum 4 Theatre on Oct 25, 2023 at 8:48 am

An article in the August 26, 2001 edition of the Newport News Daily Press about the state of local movie theaters cited that this theater closed in September of 1997.

Scott Neff commented about Pony Village 11 on Oct 12, 2023 at 11:20 am

The Pony Village Twin operated inside the mall and closed after business on 11/16/1980. The Pony 4 opened outside the mall and turned into the current complex that is Pony Village 11.

An article in the January 10, 1981 edition of The Coos Bay World reported that a retail clothing store was “slated for a location in half the theater space vacated when the new cinemas were built…” and that “The other half of the cinema space will feature what could be termed a ‘mini-mall’ - a concept where small businesses rent floor space in an open area and customers stroll through as they would in an arcade.”

Scott Neff commented about Viking Twin Indoor on Oct 11, 2023 at 5:33 pm

Cineplex Odeon closed the theater after business on 1/8/1989. Unless somebody reopened it I believe the 1998 is a typo, as I was unable to find it referenced in the Bellingham Herald after 1989 unless every article referred to it by a new name.

3200 W Maplewood Dr puts the theater a bit too far south, behind another old drive-in.

An article in the December 28, 1977 edition of the Peninsula Times Tribune reported that San Carlos Cinema would be closing the then “porno” theater after the following night.

Scott Neff commented about Century Deer Park Town Center 16 on Sep 27, 2023 at 8:28 am

As somebody who worked at Century’s corporate office, it was either/both. Century Deer Park 16 is pretty interchangeable with Century Deer Park Town Center 16.

Searching Newspapers.com for Sac River Cinemas returned an ad in the classifieds of the Springfield News-Leader from Jan 21 1996 for an auction at the former Sac River Twin Cinemas, 500 RB Hwy, Stockton, MO.

This is not the Sierra Vista 16 in Clovis – this is the Regal San Jacinto Metro Theatre.

Scott Neff commented about Regal Seymour Stadium 8 on Sep 20, 2023 at 8:16 am

Every time I see a picture of this theater I have a hard time believing it was built in the late 90s. The sign and the arches always give me a mid-70’s vibe.

Scott Neff commented about AMC Classic Cartersville 12 on Sep 19, 2023 at 12:19 pm

This is not a photo of the Carmike/AMC in Cartersville. This appears to be an original Loews Theater that AMC took over, which would not correspond to this Cartersville location.

This photo belongs to the Xscape Riverview 14 at 3165 Valleydale Dr, a different theater altogether.
