Theater is still open, changed to private ownership in December
I grew up in nearby Iselin and was so excited when this opened as it was going to be the biggest movie theater closest to my house. I ended up seeing many, many movies here.
I remember going to see “Jurassic Park” here in 1993 and, for some reason or another, the movie wouldn’t play. They sent out this poor, young employee to tell a PACKED crowd that they could get their money pack or get credit or whatever. I felt SO bad for him.
I remember the cute receptionist at my job at the time talked me and my friend into going to see “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” here in 1995. We didn’t appreciate it so much at the time, but what an experience and memory it was.
Glad to see it still up and running.
This opened on February 23rd, 1990. Grand opening ad in the photo section.
reopening as a Bollywood cinema
Found on Newspapers.com
Opened on different screens with “Born on the fourth of july”, “Stella”, “War of the Roses”, “Back to the future”. “Enemies: a love story”, “Mad house”, “Blood of heroes”, and “Little mermaid”.
Theatre open as Movie City 6 and Clearview didn’t owned it when it open.
Now called 8K Cinemas – Movie City.
Please update it Big Cinema Movie City 8, 8k Cinemas doesn’t own it anymore. It not on their website.
As mentioned back in 2019, the title should be changed. The Fandango listing (the only place their tickets are sold online) has it as “Big Cinema Movie City”, not “8K Cinemas-Movie City”.
