This cinema and the Showcase cinemas in Lawrence both opened on June 23rd, 1965.

According to my wife, who spent a lot of her time here in her teen and tweens, the last movie to show here was “A View To A Kill”, so that puts the closing date somewhere in the summer of 1985, I believe…

I’ve searched high and low for a picture of this theater. I spent way too many hours there and would love an image from the 70’s if possible. Any recommendations?

General Cinemas Saugus was loctaed what was then called New England Shopping Center. It was located about where Dicks sporting goods is.
It only had 2 screens, Cinema I & II View link
I think it closed sometime after 1985, new mall opened fall of 1994
