The Kenrick 8 Cine opened in 1984 to much fanfare. A large lobby and game room and built in a new shopping plaza. Located in a mixed neighborhood of well established homes and new subdivisions. Located right on old Route 66 and not far from the Crestwood Mall.

A four window box office then into the large lobby with a game room on the left and an ice cream shop in the left. The auditoriums were built around the lobby with the two larger ones directly behind the concession stand seating 500. The latest in sound in the auditoriums and stadium seating in some auditoriums.

The Kenrick Cine closed on November 25, 2007.

I believe this theater actually opened in 1989 or 1990. Also, it's not in the St. Louis City limits but it's close. It's actually in Shrewsbury, on Watson Road, between Laclede Station Road and MacKenzie Road, before you cross the River Des Peres.

Year of opening was 1984. Not in the city, but in Shrewsbury. Zip code is wrong.
Venue no longer a "sheer joy"...Wehrenberg seems to be ready to pull out of their lease.

As expected, Wehrenrenberg pulled the plug on this minor player in its chair with only 8 screens.

Last day of operation was November 25, 2007.

WHAT! This is now closed? Leave it to Wehrenberg to destroy the joys of cinemas. They care too much about these huge multiplexes and they let these smaller theaters suffer. I've seen them destroy their way through hundreds of great theaters just because they feel "the bigger the better." This theater didn't attract the millions of teens like Ronnie's does. I now realize that Wehrenberg only believes audiences today are teens.

Indeed, and I remember the hardcore of Wehrenberg...the Cinderella, Melba, Virginia, and Michigan. Somehow, the loss of Kenrick doesn't quite compare.

JAlex, how did you guess that Wehrenberg was about to pull the plug on this one before they did it? I knew it would happen soon enough -- it was one of the smallest theaters Wehrenberg had left and Wehrenberg believes the bigger-the better.

This was one of the few Wehrenberg theatres with THX sound.

Needy, one got the feeling when one noticed the feel of the venue.
Maintenance obviously had been cut back; the energy level of the help slipped some notches; and, most telling of all, the Wehrenberg main office was somewhat evasive when asked about Kenrick.

Any news as to what the building or site will be transformed into since it's no longer a movie theater? God knows Wehrenberg would never revamp. If they were to do anything to it (not bloody likely) then they'd rebuild it into a 20+ screened theater. Go to hell Wehrenberg! Why can't you just die and let AMC takeover?
