On the CinemaTour website, it is stated that Westerly’s United Theater closed for good in 1983, but illegally re-opened in 1984 – I believe the closing date should be 1985: I remember seeing both “Starman” & “Micki & Maude” in late 1984 (both December releases). I also remember seeing “A Nightmare On Elm Street” & “Gremlins” earlier in 1984 @ the theater (probably more – titles evade at this time!). The Westerly Sun ran a really good article on the recent sale and renovations last week as well as a very interesting editorial update/follow-up by one of the Nardone family this week. The Sun’s website also has some really good pix of the inside during the renovations. Steve
