The Cinema I Springfield Theatre was opened by Budco Theatres on September 25, 1964 with Debbie Reynolds in “The Unsinkable Molly Brown”. This theatre was located on Baltimore Pike and Sproul Road, in Springfield.
In 1975, Budco twinned this theatre.
In late-January 1992, AMC Theatres (successors to Budco Theatres) closed this theatre, mainly due to the close proximity of the recently opened AMC Marple 10 Theatre, which was a mile west of the Springfield on Sproul Road.

valley girl played there in April of 83..
George, you are correct. i just looked on Historic Aerial, and the east wall of Office depot was right near where the west wall of the AMC Springfield Twin/Budco Cinema I Springfield was.
This opened on September 25th, 1964. The grand opening ad is in this theatre’s photo section.
Was it originally a William Goldman Theater?
Cinema I Springfield (AKA AMC Springfield Twin) was never owned by William Goldman Theatres. The photo mentions Budco Quality Theatre when it opened on 9/25/1964.
Fear no Evil played here in spring of 81……………
Also, the original Halloween played here in spring of 1979!! How cool is that…
This theater actually closed in January of 1992….
I use to go there in the 70s/80s. I saw Superman 2 there. I think its where I saw Logans Run also.
Opened with “The Unsinkable Molly Brown”. It was closed in late-January 1992 because of the theater being a multiplex victim.
