The chrome covered and neon lighted theatre was opened and closed by Silver Cinemas. The theatre was reopened by Canadian Theatre chain Cinema City. Cinema City sold the theatre to an independent. Cinema City is located across from the failed Consumer Square 14.
It had closed by early-2008, but reopened in the summer of 2010.

Presumably so that you spend 2 hours shopping in the flea market before you go to a movie.
I took kids to this theater today. I was given the tickets for free admission. Even free it wasn’t worth it. The bathrooms are nasty and dont look like theyve been cleaned in years. 2 guys ran the whole place. One told me there was popcorn. There was, but it was old. Opted to not get it. The candy was old and stale. Soda was limited to 3 out of 6 kinds. The movie was 10 minutes late starting as the guy running the concession stands had to also start the movie. The theater we were in had no heat and was falling apart. Outside temp was in the 20’s so the theater of course was freezing. The movie was blurry and hard to see. My husband and I used to take the kids to this place regularly several years ago. We will not be returning.
now showing first run movies. website says in hd.
what does it mean for a movie (as opposed to a TV show) to be in HD?
Guessing it means digital and they got rid of the bad 35mm projectors. New website CinemaCityMovies.com
From facebook “Some of us remember Cinema City from days gone by. NO MORE dollar movies. FIRST RUN movies will be shown in the beautifully renovated theater, complete with all the latest digital, 3-D equipment and lots more surprises. An UPSCALE movie theater with HUGE-LY DISCOUNTED ticket prices. I said, "Huge-ly discounted prices.” With the renovation still in progress, Keep checking back for updates — we expect a grand opening very soon."
Could you post a link to whatever page you found that on? Thanks.
Checking out their whois information, the site was registered by Cover Your Assets II, LLC. There are some YouTube videos under that name. A check of the Ohio Secretary of State business records shows that business owned by a gentleman who lives in Reynoldsburg, which is near the theatre.
Looks like someone put a lot of money into the place.
When I go to the website that is listed here (CinemaCity8.com) I get a “Directory listing is denied” error. The WHOIS information for that domain doesn’t say anything about Cover Your Assets II.
Keith’s post on 12/5 lists the new web address.
