This trap door (there are two of them) is how you got into the projection booth originally. You had to climb a ladder to get into the booth. There are now stairs to get into the booth.
There was a block-and-tackle mounted in the ceiling directly above this trap door. This was so the projectionist could tie a rope to the carrying handles on the film shipping cans and hoist the heavy film cans into the booth.
