The original Riviera’s page is
/theaters/16357/
Well, doggone it,lets get this theatre its own page.It doesn’t need to be tied to a lousy 8 plex.far too much history.
Didn’t realize that the original Riviera does have its own page.
The original Riviera that once stood on this site was a little more authentic. The original Riviera AKA New Riviera Opened in 1920 and closed in 1976. Was operated bu Southern Theatres, Publix and Wilby-Kincey. Almost seems like it should have its own page.
Used to have a few cold ones with booth man during the last showing.
Yeah, Will you are probably right,but we did it late after the last feature, sipping a few cold ones,and we did place it in a trailer that most likely was trashed after National Screen service got it back.,
Gastonia NC. Good way for a projectionist to get fired.
What listing is Gaston Mall under I will look it up.
Check out GASTON MALL Theatre.I wonder if you ever talked a projectionist into doing what that operator did for us late one night.
I will have to check this one out.I did not think anybody built new theatres in a downtown area anymore,good luck to them.
NOW SHOWING AT THE RIVIERA Sept.18 1967
DUAL THRILLS…. “TRACK OF THUNDER” and “ THUNDER ROAD” box opened opened at 11 am for this double feature.
Went to see Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince last weekend at the Riviera. In the last couple of years, I’ve seen several shows there. The theatre really is comfortable, the presentation excellent and the popcorn quite good. I am VERY glad to have the new Riviera in downtown. But jeez, every time I look at it, I realize it’s just another suburban cineplex on a downtown lot. Regal’s West Town Mall 9 is a much more handsome facility, inside and out.
This is a nice photo of the Riviera.
Here is another photo from 2008.
Here and here are night photos from August 2008 of the Regal Riviera.
The Regal Riviera had a great first year. It was the second highest grossing theatre in Knoxville. Here is the article in the Knoxville News-Sentinel. View link
