Does anyone have an opening date for the original twin cinemas?

This site opened as a Jerry Lewis twin cinema.

Cinemette took over the Monroeville Jerry Lewis Cinemas and added two screens, making it a quad, all side by side with the screens facing east.

Cinema World bought it as part of the purchase of the Cinemette circuit. Finally, if briefly, Carmike took over and closed it.

It is a Best Buy retailer.

The nearby 10-screen Showcase Cinemas East in Wilkins Township could gross significantly more per screen than Cinemette East and much more frequently scarfed up the pictures that had greater grossing potential.
