Opened in 1976 as part of the ginormous Lake Forest Plaza shopping mall, located in New Orleans East. Owned & operated by Gulf States Theatres, 4 screens with a groovy 1970’s design. consisted of one very large auditorium, one large and two smaller sized ones. The Plaza Cinema 4 closed in 2002.
Flooded by hurricane Katrina in 2005, it demolished along with the entire mall in 2006. At the time of Katrina, Lake Forest Plaza was a dead mall, and it had been replaced by a free standing stadium style 8 screen Grand Theatre opened in 2002 in a parking lot area of the mall…this was a last ditch attempt effort at revitalizing the mall. It also flooded by Katrina.

Address 5700 Reid Road.
This opened on October 18th, 1974. The grand opening ad has been posted here.
In its day, Plaza Cinema 4 was a great place to work and a very good theater, state of the art when opened. I worked there in high school and college with many wonderful folks. I found a few picks in case any of them ever google this…
Ned to update the address to: 5700 Reid Road.
