Garth.Cinema 3 was added around 1982. Since there already was a Cinema 3 at the Plzaz hotel it was oringially called Cinema 1,2 3rd Ave. After cinema 3 closed they renamed this theater.
The building had apartments in the upper floors. It is showcased in the original movie Fame. When they built the hotel the only thing that was left of the Palace was the auditorium. The lobby and enterance with the old beautiful marquee was all torn down.The theater was closed for at least 4-5 years. It was reopened in 1991 with The Will Rogers Follies.
What is interesting is a woman sued Lowes in New Jersey on this issue and won in court and Lowes had to provide the exact time the movie was going to start not all the pre main feature junk.
The theater reopend briefly in 1981 by Rusty A Miller who also reopened the Benn on Woodland Ave and the 69th St in Upper Darby. All were short lived. Update information above to show this information.
Have they opened for the season and converted to digital?
Bobc316 did you know it reopened briefly in 1981?
When did they close Michael Rambo. AMC sucks
Still need to update above to 3 screens.
They took the upper level of theater 1 and make the 3rd theater.

If I am not mistaken this theater was last run by United Artists.
Why don’t they look into purchasing the historic Boyd in Phila, PA?
Does anybody in the Asheville area know if this theater will be a casulty of digital projection? I love this theater.
Informtaion needs to be updated this is a single screen theater not a twin.
Are they leaving the original auditorium intact as a single screen or are they ruining it by cutting it up?

Any word yet on the reopening? I sit ever going to happen?
The thing I remember about this theater is it had a turnstill enterance after you bought your ticket.
I went there one time in 1982 to see the re release of Mary Poppins and it was a twin than.
Is this the same Hunt’s theater chain that owned all the movie theaters in Wildwood New Jersey?
That would be great. I would be curious George to know if the origianl cutains and screen still exist.
