Flagship Premium Cinemas Water Tower

This theatre was built as the single screen Eric Montgomeryville, opening on August 30, 1968. On December 20, 1974, it was twinned. On October 2, 1976, it became a three-screener. On March 24, 1989 it became the Eric 7 Montgomeryville when it added four more screens.

The Eric theatre had 70mm capability when it showed “Return of the Jedi” there in 1983. Eric theatres were sold in 1989 to United Artists, which became Regal and they departed this theatre in April, 2006. Frank Theatres then took over the lease and renovated adding 3-screens to make it 10-screens on June 22, 2007. On July 20, 2007 screens 11 & 12 were added. It was closed in January 2019 as Frank Theatres filed for bankruptcy reorganisation. It was reopened on November 15, 2019 as the Water Tower Cinema with auditoriums ranging from 80 to 300-seats. Screens 11 & 12 have been closed.

On October 1, 2025 it was taken over by Flagship Cinemas from the real estate owner.

Added some photos in of a few things from late 90s, early 2000s. This was a good place to work pre-Regal, who took over in 2001.

Wow. In the newspaper advertisement photo showing the opening of the newly twinned Montgomery in 19975, I can see that AIRPORT 1975 was playing at the Mayfair Theater in PHilly. I went to that showing at the Mayfair that week! What are the chances…

I was Manager of the Eric 3 Montgomeryville from December 1983 to November 1984 and then became a DM for the Eric Theaters first in Bucks Co and Jersey then Delaware and Chester and Montgomery counties.

During the time of 83-84 we never split films (or played) the same films as the 309 Cinema.

Please update, Frank Theatres added 3 screens to make it 10 and stadium seating on June 22, 2007 and screens 11 and 12 on July 20, 2007. The new owners closed 11 and 12.

This theatre is open seating, dosen’t feature RSVP seating. Also posted a better grand opening ad as a twin in the photos section.
