Both the Cinema Q and the Mihama 7 Plex are actually two different theaters. The Mihama 7 Plex is a seven-screen theater opened its doors at the Aeon Chatan Branch on July 20, 1997 while the Cinema Q is a nine-screen theater opened in the San-A Naha Main Place shopping complex on October 1, 2002.
An eighth screen was added at the Mihama on March 19, 1999, and was renamed the “Mihama 7 Plex + ONE”. It had eight screens and a capacity of 2,019 seats.
Both of the University Cinema’s auditoriums opened two days apart. Screen 1 opened on February 18, 1970 with “Gone With The Wind” and Screen 2 opened two days later on February 20, 1970 with “The Reivers”. It was later taken over by Cinemette a few years later.
The University Cinemas closed on July 21, 1985 with “The Goonies” in Screen 1 and “The Emerald Forest” in Screen 2 when the Cinema Centers Corporation chain launched the Bangor Mall Cinemas five days later.
The Regal Theater closed as a single-screener in December 1984 because of deterioration, and reopened with three screens as the “Meredith 3-Way Cinema” in June 1985. This was short-lived, and closed by the end of the year. The entire theater went into auction in early-January 1986.
The Somersworth Theatre building was built in the 1840s, and later first opened as the Somerworth Opera House. Later renamed the Somersworth Theatre by 1914, the Somersworth Theatre most likely closed during the third quarter of the 1950s, as it was purchased by the Beaver Dam Little Group in 1958. The theater itself was destroyed by a fire on February 20, 1966 caused by arson.
The Tri-City Cinemas opened in February 1969 as a twin, and both auditoriums were divided into a quad in December 1985, renaming the theater the Tri-City 4.
The 71 Drive-In closed in the mid-1980s, and was demolished to make way for Fiesta Square which Cobb Theatres opened up their 10-screen Fiesta Square 10 there on May 23, 1986 (later Fiesta Square 16 and now Fiesta Square 12 operated by AMC).
Actual closing date is September 7, 1986, yes with “The Karate Kid Part II” in Screen 1 and “Shanghai Surprise” in Screen 2. The Plaza Twin closed because of the nearby Empire Cinemas expanding to six screens.
When it opened as a twin, the Showplace I-II housed 900 seats (with 450 seats in both auditoriums). Some original installations as of 1973 include a plush lobby with twin floor chandeliers, a general motif of dark walnut furnishings, and red carpeting. Stereophonic sound and fully-automated bright screens were also installed. The building also surrounds by an ample free-lighted parking lot and the entirety of this surrounds the beautiful sights of landscape with evergreens, grass, and stone by Flowerwood to complete the picture around.
Corrections: The Shochiku Central Theater actually first opened with four theaters in one building, with two screens having the same Shochiku Central name, but having different formats.
According to an article released by the Hekikai Cinema’s website, there are four theaters located at the same address in one building. Two of the theaters were named the Shochiku Central Theater, which one auditorium screens foreign films and the other auditorium screens Japanese films distributed by Shochiku. Spencer Tracy’s “The Mountain” was the first film screened inside the foreign auditorium. The third and fourth screens were named Ginza Toho Theater, which screened Toho films, and the Shochiku Meigaza Theater, which screened classic films.
Around 1966, one of the two Shochiku Central Theater auditoriums closed, and the Ginza Toho and Shochiku Meigaza theaters were renamed the Ginza Nikkatsu, and Ginza Daiei. This led the number of screens to reduce from four to three, which includes the Shochiku Central and the two Nikkatsu and Daiei auditoriums. In the early-1970s, both the Nikkatsu and Daiei auditoriums are renamed the Ginza Shochiku and the Ginza Roxy.
This is also operated by Star Theaters of Okinawa.
