Cineplex Odeon Theaters

This twin screener was formerly located outside Pembroke Mall Shopping Center in Virginia Beach, Virginia. The design of the theater if viewed by helicopter was in the shape of an old fashioned 35 millimeter movie camera with the 2 round film canisters on top. Because of the curved wall design of the auditoriums this dual plex could fit a curved screen perfectly.

I sat through many a “Star Trek” and “Police Academy” movie here. The theater was originally owned and operated by Plitt then sold out to Cineplex Odeon. Sometime in the late 80s early 1990s Cineplex moved inside Pembroke Mall on the side facing the old two screener and it was eventually demolished.

The description of this theatre’s design makes me think it was originally an ABC Ultravision twin theater; ABC had a similar design in Florida.
