No, that was not its predecessor. Its predecessor was an 8-plex on Hazard Ave. The former “Enfield Cinema” was the Strand Theatre whichis still sitting abandoned and derelict 30 years later.
This was a theatre in a strip mall. It was owned by Hoyts, Welch, and Cinema North at various times I believe. You can see a photo of it prior to its closing at http://www.cinematour.com/tour.php?db=us&id=5847 .
Oh yeah, I do remember a couple of things about the movie. I remember loving the Ewoks. I also like dthe scene where they ride those things that look like jetskis in the air.
Born in 1976, I was too young to see the other Star Wars two movies when they came out. I was just old enough to see Return of the Jedi. I don’t remember anything about the movie itself. What I do remember is that my mother must have brought me opening weekend to the movie without suspecting how popular it would be. We saw it at Cinema City in Hartford, Conn. I remember the line for tickets being all the way down the front of the building, around the side of the building, and then across the parking lot. There must have been hundreds of people in that line. The show we wanted to see sold out long before we got to the front of the line, so we bought tickets for the next showing of the film.
This theatre was still standing 5 years ago when I photographed it. It appears that it was a Spanish bar. See the photo at http://www.cinematour.com/tour.php?db=us&id=16943
This listing says it has 6 screens. I had thought it had 5.
The building that still stands is the lobby building. The theatre portion is long gone.
The Poli and State were across the street.

The Milford Pub & Cinema was in the shopping center. It was right in the corner where the two wings form an L.
Closed permanently on August 26, 2007.
This theatre isn’t demolished. It has been converted into condos.
The Revival House closed on June 24, 2007.
Will you finally upgrade the seats? I believe the ones in there are still original from when the cinema was first constructed!
Why would you build a cinema before you even know about how to get product or if you even can?
I’ll believe it when I see it. They’ve been saying for over 2 years that this theatre will open soon, and the date keeps getting pushed back.
It was one screen.
What counts as a shopping center theater? Many old theatres had stores attached.

It is still open as the Darien Playhouse. You can access its Cinema Treasures page at /theaters/438/ and view photos of it at http://www.cinematour.com/tour/us/2845.html
The auditorium was demolished quite a while ago. The lobby building is what still stands housing the businesses.

Oh, it wasn’t always adult. It became adult as the Cine-Fox in the 80’s.
The building is now basically a shell. See photos at http://www.cinematour.com/tour/us/18977.html
This was a 60’s or 70’s era strip mall cinema. The strip mall still exists, but the theatre is now just another retail storefront in it.

There was a Showcase Cinemas in Derby?!?!?
