A former ABC and Plitt venue, the Cinema Twin sits in the rear of a strip mall complex, with a freestanding marquee located along Western Street. The theatre has a T shaped layout; a small central lobby and peninsula concession stand in front, two auditoriums positioned at right angles from the back of the lobby (acess via rear sides of auditoriums).
The theatre currently (8/07) stands vacant and stripped of it’s theatre fixtures, including consession stand and wall treatments. While the street side marquee remains intact, the building appears heading for a retail space conversion.
I used to love this theater back in the day! The two theaters were very large. I remember seeing Back to the Future there when it opened back in 1985. Lots of nice memories. I miss it!
1986-1995 Owners: Cineplex Odeon (still active in Canada)
1995-closing: Carmike Cinemas.
It was a really nice theater when it first opened. I remember going to see the first Star Wars movie there when I was in college in the late 70’s.
