The Aeon Cinema Ebina closed for the final time on May 17, 2026, because of the mall’s reconstruction. Because of its closure, Screen 7 presented a special screening of “Return of the Jedi” dedicating to the theater being the first in Japan to feature THX sound, complete with the THX logo before the movie.

The Trent Theatre opened in late-March 1926 and was built on the site of the former veterinary stables of Dr. Ralph C. Titus.

Rotoscope didn’t last long at all, lasting for only two weeks. In November 1962, Smith and Carney bought the Lyric Theatre in Springfield, Missouri, in order to continue to sell their creation to the movie industry. They attempted to introduce Rotoscope there but never happened for unknown reasons.
