William Goldman’s Andorra Theatre opened its doors on December 26, 1964 with Susan Hayward in “Where Love Has Gone”. And yes, the grand opening advertisement has a spelling error.

50sSNIPES commented about UA Linwood on Jul 19, 2025 at 7:28 pm

Twinned on December 19, 1980. It appears that the UA closed the Linwood Theatre on May 3, 1992 with “My Cousin Vinny” in Screen 1 and “White Sands” in Screen 2.

However, the theater’s name, address, and original phone number continued to be shown on The Jersey Journal’s Movie Time Clock until the following year, but it appears that it never advertised throughout that time.

50sSNIPES commented about S 52 Drive-In on Jul 19, 2025 at 5:39 pm

The drive-in was already wiped by 1983, meaning that it might’ve closed sometime in the 1960s.

I cannot find it. I don’t know if this was short-lived or relocated from another location.

50sSNIPES commented about Groy Family Drive-In on Jul 19, 2025 at 2:43 pm

The drive-in is already closed by the early-1970s. Both the screen and concession stand are still there at the time, but the traces are completely faded out. This continued into the mid-1980s.

A Walmart Supercenter was built on the site in 1997, which replaced its older Walmart on 201 East Rainbow Boulevard that had been operating since March 1, 1986.

This was originally named the Ski Time Square Cinema when it opened on November 21, 1972, screening the 1927 Clara Bow classic “Wings” as a special benefit. Its name was shorten by the end of the decade to Time Square Cinema. Carmike was its last operator and the original Ski Time Square Cinema name made a comeback during the era. It was closed in 2001.
