Located in the Cherry Valley suburb of Rockford. Opened as a triplex at the Cherryvale Mall in 1975, the stand-alone theater was located outside the mall. In February 1983, four auditoriums were opened inside the mall. It was operated in its last years by Kerasotes Theatres, which closed the Cherryvale Mall Cinema at the beginning of 2000.

Kewalsl, I am also interested. What information do you have?
Here is the ad for the Massey Seating Company in Boxoffice of August 2, 1976, featuring a photo of one of the auditoriums at the Cherryvale Cinema.
There is a proposal to convert the building into a nightclub: View link

FACEBOOK has a REMEMBERING PLITT THEATRE page,folks.
Some friends and I are interested in buying or leasing this building and reopening it to play older movies. Anyone know who owns it or how to find out who to contact?
By the way, the information in this listing is not correct. They did not move into the mall and increase to four screens. They opened an ADDITIONAL four screens inside the mall, which then closed about 2000. The 3-screen theater outside the mall stayed open until it closed/moved when Kerasotes opened a new Showplace 16 about two miles away in 1997 (now AMC).
