The Cinema I Springfield Theatre was opened between 1964 and 1965 by Budco Theatres. This theatre was located on Baltimore Pike and Sproul Road, in Springfield.
In 1975, Budco twinned this theatre.
In January 1992, AMC Theatres (sucessors 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.
If anyone has any more information on the Cinema I Springfield (AMC Springfield Twin) Theatre, it would be apprieciated.

Actually the theatre was demolished and currently an Office Depot is on the spot, it’s at the end of the Old Sproul Shopping Center. Genuardi’s is located in another shopping center further down Baltimore Pike.
I saw 2 movies there in the late 70’s Dracula was one and I don’t rememebr the other. I do rememebr both were shown in flat. I saw one film there after it was twined, Bobby Deerfield.
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?
