News About This Theater

Lobby in the 1970s

Opened December 22, 1967 with Walt Disney’s animated feature “The Jungle Book” & “Charlie, the Lonesome Cougar”. The Hudson Plaza had a grand foyer as well as about 1,500 seats in its large auditorium. In its role as a modern movie palace, the theatre even contained a grand staircase. The design standards at the Hudson Plaza were quite high for the 1970’s, and in many ways it seemed more like an old style palace than a modern multiplex. A second screen was added on December 22, 1972. It was reopened by Magic Cinemas on April 5, 1996 with 7-screens, but losing all of its 1970’s-era opulence.

In 2015 it is operated by Empire Cineplex Cinemas. It had closed by 2018.

Sorry to hear this theatre closed. It was a great place to see a movie once upon a time. It was a modern and well run presentation house. Professional. It slowly faded over time.

Once known as the Hudson Mall Cinemas 4 when two more screens were added in 1990. At the time, it was operated by Creative Entertainment.

Creative Entertainment is a film buyer service for independent theatres, their not a chain that operates the theatre. The theatre is run by private owners that use their service to book them films at 50sSNIPES

Hmmm, that’s weird. Showtimes from various New Jersey newspapers say that it was part of the Creative Entertainment chain. But I didn’t know it was private owners that used their service to book its films. That’s very strange!

Opened with Walt Disney’s “The Jungle Book” and “Charlie The Lonesome Cougar”.
