I saw E T there in the summer of 1982 , also the rest room was located on the second floor of the theatre. Also back in 1995 they split one of the larger screen to give the theatre five screens as a dollar cinema before the theatre closed down in 2000 or 2001.

Our first movie was a re release of Snow White back in 1985 about 5 months after the theatre opened it was a nice theatre back in the 1980’s it across the freeway from Lake Forest Plaza near Read Blvd. It was one of the original three movie theatres that opened in New Orleans East.
