I guess it makes sense that they reclinered this place, it was Century’s first group up Stadium-Build and so it was built BIG. I remember the hallways there were wide enough to drive cars down and had multiple houses that sat 400+. The small theatres there were probably 120 which wouldn’t make for too low of a capacity once reclinered. Is Cinemark going to continue to put the big recliner signage up when they do these conversions? Some day it’ll be commonplace and will make the place look dated.
Can anybody confirm whether O'Neil Theatres operated/opened this theatre? Besides the signage looking suspiciously like theirs I show that “Trad-A-House Inc.” was registered at this address which was O'Neil’s corporate identity.
The theatre was remodeled with recliners and looks just like all of AMC’s renovated complexes. Red recliners, black carpet with red and yellow circles.
I have information that suggests Regal closed this 4/21/1999. Was is possible that the 5-plex operated for another year after the original theatre closed?
At Cinematour we have it as 1216 US-72 which is Lee Highway. It maps inside the same shopping center as 810 Lee Highway. The street image above appears to be using the “Old Lee Highway” address.
It was the extensive gameroom/family fun center was actually called “FunScape”. Regal attempted to make this concept work at four other locations in the US.
Oh those lightbulbs! I’m sure the manager there loves them.

Last day of operation was 1/26/2017.
I like the original grand opening ad touted “Luxurious Chair Seats”. CUTTING EDGE!
This location has been demolished.

Regal Cinemas operated this theatre from 1994-2001.
Ahh yes — but now I see that the Safari Sports Bar was the theatre, and their current address is 810 Lee Highway.

I believe this theatre was actually opened by Festival Enterprises, which was later acquired by Mann Theatres.
The address for this theatre/current location is
848 Ignacio Blvd
Novato, CA 94949
This is actually in Rohnert Park, CA which may at one point have been southern Santa Rosa.
It appears this theatre is open and operated by Satellite Cinemas (www.satellite-cinemas.com)
There appear to have been eight Funscape locations total: -Greenrbier 13, Chesapeake VA -Theatre open, Funscape now a gym
-Eastview Mall 13, Victor NY – Theatre open, Funscape appears to be empty.
-Cicero 13, Cicero NY – Theatre closed, both now a car dealership
-Brandywine Town Center 16, Wilmington DE – Theatre open, looks like Funscape was absorbed by mall.
-Green Hills 16, Nashville TN – Theatre open, can’t tell from Google what happened to Funscape
-West Town Mall 9, Knoxville TN – Theatre open, Funscape still kind of there as arcade room and decorative fun entrance to theatre.
-Cyrpress Creek Station 16, Ft Lauderdale FL – Theatre open, looks like Funscape remodeled into store fronts and gym.
-Las Olas 23, Ft Lauderdale FL – both closed, don’t know where in complex the Funscape was.
Did Cobb ever operate this theatre?

Try as hard as they did to get rid of this, AMC has it back again after the purchase of Carmike. :)
This theatre is now branded as one of Carmike’s BigD theatres and operated as the 17th screen of the nearby Broadway Cinemas.
So Kerasotes got this from Goodrich not from Carmike? Any idea when Goodrich got it from Carmike then?
I’m thinking this picture is not of the Fox Theatre that was built/opened in 1970.
