Loews actually closed the Carousel on August 31, 1990, not July. There is also a strange appearance on its showtimes the following day on the Cincinnati Enquirer that reads “COPY D TO COME?”
Closed as a first-run theater on November 5, 1992 with “Public Eye” in Screen 1 and “School Ties” in Screen 2. It was once operated by Mid-States, later USA Cinemas, and finally Loews.
Once operated by USA Cinemas, later Loews, and later National Amusements before Georgia’s Cinema Grill Systems Circuit takeover in 1997. It was closed as a movie theater on August 12, 2001, and at the time it was briefly known as Covedale Cinema Grill.
The Kawai Kinema opened in August 1932, and had many different names throughout the years, including the Daitoza, Daito Theater during World War II, Asakusa Shintoho Theater during the early-1950s, Asakusa Theater in the mid-1950s, and the Asakusa Chuei Theater (or the Asakusa Chueigekijo Theater) in the early-1970s. The exact address is 2-9-13 Asakusa, Taito Ward, Tokyo.
There’s not a lot of information that I can find about this one. The Egawa Theater opened in May 1930, and was renamed the Asakusa Shochiku New Theater in December 1931. As of that time, it was designed by Kato Architects and Engineers, and is a steel-framed reinforced concrete structure with one basement floor and three aboveground floors.
It was last known as the Asakusa New Theater since 1953, and had that name until its October 21, 2012 closure. The exact address is 2-9-11 Asakusa, Taito-ku, Tokyo. This was never known as the Chueigekijo Theater. There is a second theater nearby called the Asakusa Meigaza, which opened in 1955 and closed on that same day.
What’s really strange is that this was originally meant to operate as a twin-screen drive-in, but turns out that it operated as a single-screener throughout its history. There is a set of traces facing away from the theater itself, but no screen nor projection booth was established at the opposite side.
