Atrium Cinema 6

The US 1 & 2 opened in the early 1980’s in the Uncle Sam Atrium, the urban renewal mall that tore down most of downtown Troy, including the fabulous Troy Theatre. It did not meet with much success as a first-run venue, so it became a second-run discount house.

It closed around 1985 and sat dormant for a few years. Cinema North Corp from VT added four screens to it by annexing adjacent retail space and reopened it as the Atrium 6. The projection booth for the new four screens had very low ceilings—in fact, there were no traditional pedistals for the projectors—they only sat about 6" off the floor and one had to basically crawl to thread the film!

Again not meeting with much success, the theatre was open for a few years then closed for good. It has been gutted for office/retail space.
