The theatre opened on November 22nd, 1991 as the Dickinson 8 with The Addams Family on 2 screens, Beauty and The Beast on 2 screens, Cape Fear on 2 screens, Rambling Rose and Barton Fink. The theatre has (or at least had) 70mm capability so I will post the 70mm titles shown a little later.
The theatre would switch to second run on November 27th, 1991, less than two weeks after the Dickinson (now Springfield) 8 opened with The Naked Gun 2 ½, Backdraft and V.I. Warshawski.
This would not last long as the theatre would close less than six months later on May 17th, 1992 with Medicine Man, Hook and Blame It On The Bellboy.
I went to this drive-in on Sunday and it was great. I loved the atmosphere and both movies were good (Invincible and Accepted). Too bad they don’t show R-rated movies. Also, the admission is now $5.00 for both movies but concessions are cheap.
Yes, you were talking about the Tower, in which that list is coming soon. Something Wicked That Way Comes would moveover to the Battlefield Mall 6 though.

If there were no movie theatres, there would be no good movies. With no good movies, there would be declining DVD rental profits and we would be hopelessly lost.
The theatre opened its fourth auditorium on June 10th, 1983, the day after its 52 (it wasn’t 53) week run on E.T. ended. Flashdance was shown in the auditorium.
The theatre opened as a Dubinsky theatre and became a Dickinson theatre on December 2nd, 1983.
Well, Wallace Theatres from Oregon (they have many theatres in Missouri) has been planning a 14-plex in downtown Springfield for a while now. It hasn’t happened yet. And you’re right, lots of theatres are better than Campbell 16 (Branson Meadows, Great Mall 16 in Olathe, Kansas, St. Charles 18).
The Tower showed Star Wars as well as The Empire Strikes Back. Century 21 probably didn’t show Star Wars for thinking Exorcist II or The Deep would be bigger. The Tower was even closed and remodeled for The Empire Strikes Back.
The theatre closed with a double feature of She’s The One and Stealing Beauty according to the picture and sat vacant for many years with the sign intact.

Also on July 6th, 1973 to January 17th, 1980, the theatre was a Mann theatre.
The theatre opened June 22nd, 1979 with Players on Auditorium #1, Rocky II on Auditorium #2 and Prophecy on Auditorium #3. I was looking on microfilm and the fourth auditorium had not been added when Altered States opened. In fact, at the end of the E.T. run I mentioned, it was still three screens.
Actually, it was less than a week later.
The theatre opened on November 22nd, 1991 as the Dickinson 8 with The Addams Family on 2 screens, Beauty and The Beast on 2 screens, Cape Fear on 2 screens, Rambling Rose and Barton Fink. The theatre has (or at least had) 70mm capability so I will post the 70mm titles shown a little later.
The theatre would switch to second run on November 27th, 1991, less than two weeks after the Dickinson (now Springfield) 8 opened with The Naked Gun 2 ½, Backdraft and V.I. Warshawski.
This would not last long as the theatre would close less than six months later on May 17th, 1992 with Medicine Man, Hook and Blame It On The Bellboy.
I went to this drive-in on Sunday and it was great. I loved the atmosphere and both movies were good (Invincible and Accepted). Too bad they don’t show R-rated movies. Also, the admission is now $5.00 for both movies but concessions are cheap.

The Warren chain cares more about the Wichita theatre than this theatre. That would explain how they get exclusive films, better maintained, better run, etc, etc.

Can anyone tell me about the business troubles of the Marquee Cinemas?
This theatre showed Raiders Of The Lost Ark for 54 weeks from 6/12/1981 to 6/24/1982.
The theatre opened as a Dubinsky theatre and became a Dickinson theatre on December 2nd, 1983.

Six weeks? That’s a short run for ANYTHING. (refering to the reopening)

The Bannister Mall 5 did close and the mall is mostly dead as well.
The theatre closed with a double feature of She’s The One and Stealing Beauty according to the picture and sat vacant for many years with the sign intact.
The theatre opened September 21st, 2005 with Me and You and Everyone We Know.
