This was a huge single screen theatre that opened in 1966 as UA Theatre East. It was eventually chopped up into four auditoriums. An addition to the building increased the number of theatres to six. Hoyts closed the Manchester 6 in January 2001. Hoyts could not get first run product after the Showcase Cinemas Buckland Hills opened across town, and really did not want to keep operating as a sub-run theatre. After sitting dormant for nearly six years it reopened as the Parkade Cinemas on December 1, 2006 with plans to show movies as well as live entertainment.

See the photos I took in 2002 and 2005 of the building's interior and exterior during its abandonment of 5 years or so at http://www.cinematour.com/tour/us/458.html . As soon as I take photos of the remodelled cinemas they will be there as well.

It's nice having a second run theater back. Thought they didn't exist in CT anymore until this place reopened.
