The St. Charles 18 Cine' opened in 1988 as the largest multiplex in the metropolitan St. Louis area. It replaced the Wehrenberg Mark Twain Cinema 4 Center also located on Fifth Street but about three miles north. One of the largest theatres in the St. Louis market with plenty of space throughout the theatre. Ample leg room in all auditoriums with stadium seating in most and different color schemes in each auditoriums. Large game room in the spacius lobby. A lot of neon of various colors was used both inside the theatre and on the exterior. The rear of the theatre faced Highway 94 so a marquee was put on the rear of the building. One main concession stand and two satellite stands with rest rooms in two locations.

Actually, the St. Charles 18 originally opened as the St. Charles 10, which was not the largest multiplex in St. Louis at that time, as the Halls Ferry 14 was still open. I’m afraid I don’t know the exact date the theater expanded from 10 to 18 screens, but that would still be smaller than the Ronnie’s 20.
Last month, I saw An Inconvienent Truth in old of the older theatres and me and my mom liked what we saw. The movie was great and the theatre is nice (it’s been renovated, has a restaurant and a big lobby and game room). The projection was a little off but at least they put care into a little art film (unlike the Campbell 16 in Springfield, MO, near my hometown).
I’ve since seen here:
The Prestige
We Are Marshall
Mr. Bean’s Holiday
The Nightmare Before Christmas in 3-D
Bella
Enchanted (in THX)
Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium
Operated by Wehrenberg Theatres.
The St. Charles 10 opened in July 1987.
When the St. Charles 10 opened, there was already a 10-screen plex operated by Wehrenberg, the St. Clair 10 in Fairview Heights (Ill.) which had opened in May 1986. The Halls Ferry was still an 8-screen operation when the St. Charles 10 opened.
As well, in addition to the info mentioned immediately above, the AMC Northwest Square 10 had opened in June 1986.
