The Merritt Twin Theater was originally scheduled to close with “The Flamingo Kid” and “Beverly Hills Cop” on February 10, 1985, but on the afternoon of February 9, the Merritt Twin Theater’s staff won an unexpected reprieve from its owners alongside its last operator, RKO Century, allowing the theater to continue operating for another several more weeks.
The Merritt Twin Theater finally closed on March 31, 1985, with “Friday The 13th Part V” playing on one screen. I cannot find the film title on the other auditorium that closed the theater. This was because of the theater no longer to be taken from granted and was sold to a Miami Beach, Florida man named Alvin Perlman.
The Palace Theatre was twinned in 1983, and its second auditorium featured seats that were originally transferred from the Hollywood Theatre in Au Sable Forks. A third screen would be added by the early-1990s, followed by a fourth one later on.
This actually closed with “Freddy’s Dead-The Final Nightmare” in Screen 1 and “Terminator 2” in Screen 2. This never closed with “Beauty And The Beast”.
It appears that the Augusta Road Drive-In closed as a movie theater on August 25, 1985 with “Brewster’s Millions” and “All Of Me” (plus a chance to win a then-new 1986 Ford Aerostar), but continued to operate as a flea market until 1990.
