wow, cool, iam so interested in this theater. Hey, couple questions, was the bathrooms upstairs or downstairs.. and i noticed that in the men’s bathroom toilet, there is still hanging toilet paper , is that paper from 1980??? cause it looks really newer? Also, graffiti is on the side wall now is gone, and the box office glass was there in 06 is now boarded up. Wish they would have left the Exterminator poster in the frame. ha ha.. Do you know of any other movies that were showing there in 1980??? Exterminator was released around sept 19th 1980, so this is when the theater was closed. Can’t believe its still standing after all these years..
Any more memories or info on this theater would be appreciated. For example, i wonder what year they changed everything and turned it into a business office? Did the theater sit for a few years once it closed??
I would like to find old newspaper articles from delaware circa, 1980, and see the listings for movies being shown at the cinemart that year. Any ,librarys in del might have them??
Saw superman 2 here in summer of 81.. It’s now a best buy.. Theater lasted until like mid 90’s… it was like an arthouse theater towards the end. Amityville 2 played here in 1982…
I wonder how this dude got inside.? I would love to see if they’re any seats left. you can see the screen dangling. thats cool.. when i went, i couldn’t find a way in. Quess if you got caught you could get arrested for breaking and entering on private property ..
the last movies i seen , well, the only time i was here was in June of 1991, saw a double of Ernest goes to jail and a film called fire birds with nick cage. I believe this was the last year for the drive-in to be open. by 92 it was for sale.. now its some kinda of nursery with no remembrances of the drive-in.
no info on cinema center 3. claims it was in Delaware shopping center??
Also, looks like over the years people smashed up the place. Wonder if that couch was there since 1980?
