Opened as the Butler Plaza 10, should have an AKA Butler Plaza 10.
The grand opening ad from May 18th, 1990 has been uploaded.
It cost about 1 million to put the building on the ground and in the first year it made more than enough to cover all expenses. It made so much money in one day that we had to hire the alachua county sheriff dept. to make 3 runs to the bank to drop deposits.
Litchfield Cinemas was one of the best theatre chains that I had worked at as head of projection booth before it first opened and there after for over 2 years. The owner (McKisset or McKisett) only bought the best NEW equipment. He talked to you like a real human being.
This opened with 10 screens in May of 1990 by Litchfield Theatres and taken over by Regal Cinemas, which added four more screens in 1995.
