Talk about a venue that has had its ups and downs! When Interstate Theatres opened the Roswell Mall Cinema on December 21, 1979 it was located on the second level of the shopping centre. Hoyts took over property in 1986, closed the Roswell Mall Cinema. (It has its own page on Cinema Treasures).
Hoyts built a new ten-plex Aurora Cineplex on the lower level. Neither the upstairs nor the downstairs cinemas were anything architecturally significant. Hoyts did equip the largest of the ten auditoriums with 70mm and presented the 70mm version of “Gone With the Wind” during its grand opening. It was taken over by Startime Cinemas on May 23, 1997.
It was closed in September 2009. It was reopened in December 2010.

I worked at this theater when it was Roswell Mall Cinema on the lower level around 1989. It was the best theater in town at the time, and a great job for a teenager. We worked hard but had lots of fun in between rushes- playing frisbee in the projector room, making goofy messages for the phone recording, rolling down the sloped main hall in the ‘feed the hungry’ barrel. Good times.
Movies I remember being a big deal: ‘Red October’ and ‘The Little Mermaid’. I remember one winter the pipes broke in the ceiling and flooded the place. Just outside the theater was an arcade and ‘Mama’s Pizza’.
Nice pictures! My wife and I went last week and were very impressed. Totally modernized and very clean and comfortable. $2 cheaper than the other theaters too!
Was this ever called the ROSWELL VILLAGE as mention in Sept 22 1974 BOXOFFICE?
No, Roswell Village is a strip mall across the street. Mall is still there, but not the theater.
