The building that housed the King Square Cinema was built in 1877 as a furniture factory and showroom. Around 1906 part of this three story building was converted for use as a movie theatre called the Unique Cinema.
In 1931 the Unique Cinema was renamed the Strand Theatre. In 1966 the name was changed again to the Odeon Theatre. In 1984 the theatre was sold and the new owners renamed it the King Square Cinema. This theatre closed in 1996.

Which page has a picture?
Sorry, forgot the link: View link
Thanks. Your right, it was a twin and the primary name should be changed to King Square Cinemas.
I read something about it was also the Paramount? as the building looks exactly the same as the Paramount.
I was up visiting Saint John and saw it’s sad state but, interestingly it was neat to see that all the old coming attraction signs were still standing and the marquee was still in Great shape. I’m wandering what the inside would like now and hopefully they don’t demolish but, make something of it.
In a bit i will post a link to some of the images i took of the theater
Kings Square cinemas is in a different Location Not Charlotte street
Its in the same building that the paramount was
The King Square Cinema on Charlotte Street should be listed as demolished because there’s now a parking lot on the former theatre site beside the buildings that it used to be next door to.
But, ScreenClassic, this photo was taken on September 15, 2011. So as of this date it is not demolished yet! PHOTO
Wish the above picture was clearer.
It looks to me that looking at the picture I posted on 11-14-2009 that the auditorium section of the theater may have been demolished.
