Cinema North, which is just, a few miles from Salem Avenue Cinemas (Kon-Tiki) 1,2 & 3 and Salem Mall Cinemas 1-4 which are all now closed, is another one of West Dayton’s failed and trouble cinemas. Cinema North was home of a 1991 shooting on opening night of Boyz N the Hood. The Cinema North is located in ran down West Dayton in the Northwest Shopping Center (it is actually next to it) but is considered part of the center. The Northwest Shopping Center is over 50% empty is home of crime and violence.Which Ignored by the city and media. Almost like of a sight out of mind. The Salem Drive-was located about 600 feet from Cinema North , the Salem Drive-In closed in 1983 and is now a new Kroger Store that also left Northwest Plaza.
The Salem Mall Cinemas, which is just, down the street from Salem Avenue Cinemas (Kon-Tiki) and Cinema North is another one of West Dayton’s failed and trouble cinemas. The riot in 1999 involved some 200 patrons fighting in the mall’s parking lot, a Trotwood Police Car’s window being shot out, two windows from the cinema being broke out, pepole being treated from pepper spray fumes throughout the mall. The Salem Mall Cinemas also had a fire start in a trashcan during ‘Any Given Sunday†and a man was beaten during “Next Fridayâ€. They had a good midnight run of “Boys ‘N The Hoodâ€, “New Jack Cityâ€, “Dead Presidentsâ€, Tupac Shakur in “Juice†and “Purple Rainâ€. However it was cut short for security reasons.
Its so-called poor location is NOT what doomed it. Lowes had no other theatres left in Dayton but Beaver Valley Cinemas and wanted out. Side Line who only had the failing Movie Palace in Huber Heights was paying 8,000 a month for Beaver Valley and up to 12,000 a month in light bill’s and only ran Beaver Valley because the building’s owner also owned the Movie Palace building and did not Beaver Valley closed and asked them to run the BV till he found someone to take over, they could not find anyone so that is why they closed BV.
Seth just wanted to add the theatre I talked of in the above in the 70’s is when the balcony was then used as a twin the main floor was a single than but the stage was took out and the screen pushed up, so that a small 150 seat theatre would be placed behind the main floor ‘s screen. Anyways in 1999 when a house was torn down they built the four additional theatres to the right of the building. They at least feature stadium seating and digital sound. Anyway the small theatre was used even after the main floor was triplexed. When the new stadium theatres were added they closed the smaller theatre because the new theatre were built onto the original building and blocked the small theatre’s exit doors. The two building of theatres are connected by entryway between the two theatres. At any rate the owners have always place one sheet cases next to the entry of the theatre that movie was playing in. After the small theatre closed they installed a tacky fence like gate with a lock blocking the entrance hallway to small theatre. I went in the back a few times and looked in the theatre they use now for storage, removing several of the left side’s seats for space and placing the loose seats in front of the screen .I was amazed that the screen, speakers and projection everything was still intact and no signs of leaks on the ceiling. And yes after what almost 6 years the one sheet of “Ring Master†is still in its case and the sign over the door “I must admit is missing some letters†said “Ring Masterâ€.
SO SETH MY POINT IS CINEMA THEATRE IS A 12PLEX BUT STILL IS AN OLD CLASSIC AND IF YOU ADD THE SMALL THEATRE IN THE BACK OF THE FLOOR THEATRES WHICH LOOKS IN GREAT SHAPE ( JUST NEEDS A EXIT) THIS CLASSIC IS 13 SCREENER.
Seth & Robert if you look at the front of this web site it says “search by number of screens” it goes up 35 screen cinemas. Many 20plex and higher theaters are on this site.
Seth ALSO
in today’s cinema market 10,12 16 and even a 20plex cinema closed last year, the 20plex is for sale and was less than 4years old.
Desert 16 owned by Century Theatres was the first megaplex I saw with the most screens that closed back in 2000.
Also to note DANBARRY DOLLAR $AVER Richmond 10 which was sold to Kerasotes Theatres can be seen at /theaters/8512/ which it the last of the DanBarry’s chain.
ALSO what if it was like a local theatre were I live. It is was a single theatre that had a balcony which was cut off and made into 4 theatres the main floor in now a triplex the flower shop to the left is a tiny 45 seat theatre and 4 theatres were built to the right so it is a 12plex which did kill a single screen down the street, but this 12plex was acutully built in 40’s so it would be a classic right Seth.
P.S. The single theatre down the street The Crest it did get life again as a bakery at least, the bakery closed last summer after 15 years.
Page Manor has gotten a new and I think even better web site.
PageManorTwin.Com ,on the web site it states it opened in 1967 under the history page.

The condition of the building is not good and that is why Chakeres closed the theatre like they did the Fairborn I & II in 1999.
