This theater closed Sunday October 14, 2001 the week before I got married. On Columbus Day October 7 I went to see the film Tortilla Soup at an afternoon showing. The theater was closed but they said they would reopen at night. They said they would be open the next weekend but were closed Tuesday thru Thursday, I don ’t know about Friday. Last films there were Zoolander (3rd), Don’t Say a Word (3rd), Tortilla Soup (2nd) and Rush Hour 2 which was there 2 weeks but had previously played Loews Bay Terrace nearby.
First film I ever saw at this theater was “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas” Memorial Day weekend 1998.
Also for the record the first films to play there under Stewart’s regime when he reopened it on June 16, 2005 were Batman Begins (opening week) and older films Die Hard with a Vengeance, Casper and Tales from the Hood. They were a quad then. Stewart sixplexed the theater in April 1998 and sevenplexed it in 1999.
Longest film engagement there was the Sixth Sense which stayed 11 weeks.
They used to bring in films later in their runs too. Katest was Titanic which the American got in it’s 20th week but it stayed 6 weeks there.
I met the previous owner Stewart Epstein outside the theater on Friday March 28 and he was showing the place to prospective buyers (obviously sold now). He said he was closing the theater for health reasons. For the record the last films to play there under his regime were Tyler Perry’s Meet the Browns (2nd week), Horton Hears a Who (3rd week) and College Road Trip (4th week).
