Opened on November 27, 1968 with Clint Eastwood in “Coogan’s Bluff”. It was divided into a twin on June 27, 1975, and closed for the final time on September 28, 1983 with “Nightmares” in Screen 1 and “Mr. Mom” in Screen 2, yes because of their loss at bidding wars with Showcase.
Exactly several years before construction of the Lakeland Square Mall took place, General Cinema originally planned to build a four-screen movie theater at the then-proposed mall by 1983, according to a 1981 Lakeland Ledger article released by GCC’s regional manager Tony Coudouna. Unfortunately that idea was scrapped, and the mall would officially open on March 10, 1988.
The Route 495 Cinema Center actually went with two names, the Route 495 Cinema Center and the Route 495 Cinema Centre. The “Center” name changed to “Centre” in December 1984.
The Mall Cinema opened its doors in 1968, and was taken over by General Cinema in November 1972, who twinned the theater that same month becoming the Mall Twin. General Cinema ran away from Monticello during the early-1980s, which was then taken over by Florin-Creative. Both auditoriums were divided into a quad in August 1987, and the theater became the Mall Quad. It was closed on April 5, 2009.
This started life as the Route 495 Cinema City. The Boston Globe didn’t start advertising the theater until December 1974, so I’m very sure greg6363 is 100% correct that it opened in October of that year. It was renamed the Route 495 Cinema Centre in December 1976.
During its final years of operation, it was known as Hoyts Milford 3 before closing on March 2, 1997.
A 1984 aerial view shows the theater appearing to be operational, but unfortunately I cannot confirm if the theater was still operating or not at the time. It was demolished by the end of the decade.
Actual closing date is October 21, 2007.
Closed on September 25, 1983 with “Simply Irresistible” and “The Girls Who Will Do Anything”.
Closed on October 3, 1997.
