This was a really nice theater in its original single screen form! It would have made a very nice concert venue as well (if it had a stage). It lost its charm when they sliced it up. I saw the Beatles “Yellow Submarine” in the original theater. Saw several midnight flicks there as well. “This Is Elvis” was last film I saw there in the 3rd screen addition in the back.

The Crestwood remained open for just short of a year after the Crestwood Plaza 5 opened. CP5 opened 3/21/86; Crestwood closed 3/12/87.

Since this theater was originally opened by Mid-America Theaters, I’m assuming it was later operated by RKO-MidAmerica and, eventually, AMC. I’m also guessing AMC closed it when they opened the theater at Crestwood Plaza.

Theatre closed on March 12, 1987. The three final films were “Red Headed Stranger”, “Nightmare on Elm Street 3” and “The Mission.”

The twinning (usual wall down the middle) occurred in June 1980.
Addition of the third auditorium followed that December.
