The Hillsboro Cinema closed by Bob Piechota at the end of a 20-year leasing agreement with “Suburban Commando” on October 17, 1991.
Renamed Hillboro on January 23rd, 1974.
This opened on July 28th, 1971 as Jerry Lewis Cinema. Grand opening ad in photo section.

Address for this theatre is Rte. 206 and Andrea Ave. It seated 350. Its function today is a gym. It was a single screen its entire life.
This theatre was supposedly the first Jerry Lewis built in New Jersey back in the early 70’s. It was located on Route 206 and Andrea Ave. It lasted until the mid 90’s. The owner of this theatre now owns the Hillsborough 10-plex about a mile south on Rte. 206. They had a great concept, these Jerry Lewis Cinemas, I think they just expanded too fast, and also caught the downturn in the movie business at that time, the early 70’s. I know this is what happened to the Jerry Lewis Twin in Carteret N.J.
Did Jerry approve that UGLY caricature that was used for the marque and in ads ?
