As of May 1996 (after the closing of the 57), the only theatres in Boston proper were the Cheri, the Nickelodeon, and the Copley Place.

The Cheri got the potential blockbusters and the Nickelodeon got the art films. If the film was neither, it was rammed (literally) into the Copley Place.

I saw both Independence Day and Chain Reaction here. Both times the auditorium (don’t remember which except it was one of the larger ones) was packed. Independence Day might have even been a late-night showing. I thought it was a cute little theater and I miss it.

Boston may be a small city but it deserves more than two mundane multiplexes.
