Rotunda Cinemas

For some reason, I had envisioned this theater to be an art deco-type moviehouse like the Senator. I saw "Osama" (2003) here (in Feb '04) and, unfortunately, didn't get to experience the Dolby Digital Surround EX sound system. Its not the film's fault, as the movie is a low-budget ($40K) foreign language film. I'm wondering if this moviehouse was one auditorium at one time. The staff didn't know.

Is this still a cinerama theater? With seating for less than 300 I can't envision it as being a terribly huge screen. But one I'll be checking out anyway.

Here is an item on the closing:

Oops. It should be senator.com. Sorry.

When was this ever a Cinerama theater?

If it was, its hard to tell. When I saw a movie there it was just an ordinary theater, albeit small with a decent sized screen, say 30 feet maybe?

The Rotunda Twin, originally opened in the 1970s by J-F Theatres, has always been a small twin house (it's on the ground floor of a tiny mall). It would've been impossible to install Cinerama there.

The Rotunda did open in the 1970s, but it was not always a twin house. I remember seeing Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back there in 1980, and I'm pretty sure it was a full screen. Not sure if it was "Cinerama" but it was a full screen.
