It was owned by cobb when I was a service tech. for them back in the early 90’s and was also the distict office for the cobb florida east coast.
This theater was renovated and became a stadium seating theater on July 18, 2003.
In March 2007 it became completly digital and claimed to be the first all-DOLBY DIGITAL CINEMA theater.
This theater is in competition with Cinemaworld 16, an all stadium theater that opened in May 2002, which will be all-digital by late 2008.
Remember when this theater opened in 1986. I was a kid then. The facade changed a lot when it became Premiere Theaters (the new owner is a very enthusiastic guy— I met him at their grand re-opening). The original look in ‘86 was very intimate outdoors with a fantastic design for the concession lobby: a round serving area with cashiers available in 360-degrees. Above this was a hexagon shaped ceiling protrusion with classic movie personalities drawn in neon lights: Stan Laurel, Oliver Hardy, James Cagney, Joan Crawford, etc.
It went downhill by the time Premiere took over but it was a great cinema. The new renovation is very nice visually and the seating is better than before.
Personally, it’s sad to see them phase out the old 35mm projectors.
Premiere Theatres didn’t take over this theatre until 4 Oct. 2002. Prior to that it was as mentioned operated by Cobb Theatres and then Regal.
