I have no memory of this theater when I was a kid. I just Google mapped it, and see a strip center. I wonder if the shell is part of any of the buildings?
Yes I was at the Suniland in June of 1983. I actually started there in August of 1982. The theatre was playing AC/DC Let There Be Rock with the enhanced sound system, ET and we opened Fast Times At Ridgemont High my first week. We also were running “Shock Treatment” as a Miami area exclusive late show, what a dog. We were contracted to play it 12 weeks and by the third week we had maybe 10 people each night attend. Mike, do we know each other?
Rick Comer was manager June 3 1983.

The original single-screen Suniland Theatre was designed by architect Robert E. Collins, according to an item in the September 30, 1963, issue of Boxoffice Magazine which announced that construction had begun on the project.

Yes it is. I'v been trying to get a hold of you forever.
Oh my god! Is the Diane Walker I think it is?
AlAlvarez,
I managed the Suniland for a few years back in the early 80’s. I remember it well.
The last of Miami’s Florida State venues (Plitt by then) to close by the mid/late 80s, think a Luria’s (a Miami-based jewelry/luxury gift store chain) took the Suniland’s place. Luria’s itself went out of business in the 1990s.
Suniland becomes a twin.
