Jerry Lewis Cinemas declared bankruptcy in 1980.

CT could use an exact address, is the building still standing, if yes, what is the use of the building, photos, old and new, inside and out, and any other info???

Jerry Lewis' book “DEAN AND ME”, Mr.Lewis writes about the mess he got into getting in the theatre business.

Yep, it’s now the Coastal Shopping Center. I don’t know the current status of the theater. It would be great to get a concrete address.

I would imagine, and hope, that this cinema’s name sake was in attendance for the grand opening as well as offering financial assistance regarding future restoration… hmmm?

I’ve been in Dunedin many times, but not lately. Wished I knew about this and checked this out! Anyone know if the Dunedin Plaza Shopping Center is now called the Coastal Shopping Center? What is the Cinema now used for?

Joe, you entered some Boxoffice info on the Cricket, but it was the second listing for the same theater and so that Cricket listing was deleted. I thought that might happen so I made a copy before it disapeared. Do you want to enter the Boxoffice info on the original Cricket listing or should I?

The exact opening date of this Jerry Lewis Cinema was April 15, 1972, according to the May 5 issue of Boxoffice. The house had 322 seats.
