To answer a couple of previous questions – The Circle was not originally owned by Redstone/National Amusements/Showcase nor was it the first Showcase theatre, but when he purchased the Circle it became his first INDOOR theatre. (Redstone/Showcase owned LOTS of drive-ins at the time.) After the main theatre was twinned, cinema #3 (upstairs) was added. A big misconception is that cinemas 4-7 (the ones in the back, and yes, they are the 4 WORST places to see a movie) were all added at the same time. They were not. Originally (Late 70’s/Early 80’s) there were only two theatres back there, and they were quite nice – both with over 200 seats and wide (30+) feet screens. Each one was split in two (THE HORROR!) in 1990.
