50sSNIPES commented about Loews Crofton Cinema 4 on Nov 6, 2025 at 8:07 pm

Yes, but unfortunately I cannot confirm if this was first independently operated since the Crofton Cinema 4’s opening on October 14, 1977 or the theater being a JF theater in the 1980s. However, I can confirm that it was taken over by Loews in the late-1980s, later operated by Sony Theatres, and finally Loews Cineplex.
