I hope this theater gets the same digital projection that other clearviews have.
Recently Screenvision installed digital projectors only for the pre-shows as well as live events at this theater.
digital 3d begins this weekend with Alice in Wonderland.
According to sources this theater will close on may 19.
Theater should be changed to closed as this theater will be replaced by a gym.
The gym is now open as i saw a commercial for it on tv….the gym is quite small compared to the one that replaced the route 4 tenplex years ago.
Chester needs a new movie theater.
I recall seeing quite a few films here In the 90s. I can’t recall if it was privately owned or a chain around 1995.
The photo shown is not the Clearview 6-plex as that was located across highway 206 from the older Chester Mall shopping center as seen in the overhead photo. The photo shows what is today the Crossfit gym. The poster encasements remain on each side of the old doors. Oddly enough, the newer Clearview Chester 6-plex was also turned into a fitness place called the Nitroflex Gym.
The Chester Twin Cinemas opened its doors on June 15, 1979 with “Golden Girl” in Screen 1 and “The Champ” in Screen 2. It was renamed the Cinema 206 Twin on September 25, 1981 after management changes. The original Chester Twin name made a comeback in August 1993.
Four more screens were added on July 14, 1997 after a two-month renovation closure, bringing a total to six screens and was renamed the Chester Cinema 6.
