Opened with(on different screens), a Donald Duck cartoon(Dude Duck) and “Ducktales the movie”(same screen), “Back to the future 3”, “Total recall”, “Gremlins 2”, The adventures of Ford Fairlane", “The jungle book”, The freshman", “Navy seals”, “Another 48 hours”, “Quick change”, “Bird on a wire” and “Pretty woman”.
This is a good thing for Northeast Plaza. The old O'Neil conversion from retail was overall pretty good for the time and I believe did good business until they went bankrupt. I was always under the impression that they were doing OK with this location, the one they ran in Gwinnett and the old one they put on the top floor of the old Columbia Mall Davidson’s. I think they were just a small company caught up in the wave of bankruptcies while everybody was trying to outspend each other.

This opened on October 12th, 1990 and closed in 1999. Grand opening ad in the photo section.
Saw many movies here after a trip to the local Paper Chase where I bought movie posters. The strip mall was kind of crappy, but the theater was ok.
We used to call it the “Cohoes” Theater, after that chain of discount department stores, because it was the anchor at Northeast Plaza for a few years. The theater itself was nice and an easy place to catch a film for half price. Northeast Plaza has undergone so many changes. Originally it was a small, suburban strip mall with a Kroger and another grocery as anchors, a wig shop, drug store and a bowling alley. I thought the other food store was Colonial, but recently found out that my memory had failed me, so it may have been an A&P or a Winn Dixie.
I have been into this place as the Atlanta Peach Ballroom, and It still looks like a movie theater. The club has several different floors with different music. My guess is the theater sound helps the club. My favorite part of the club is that the bathrooms are in the front of the club just like a theater.
Here a aerial view.

Loehmann’s Plaza is on the other side of I-85 on N. Druid Hills Road where it meets Briarcliff. Northeast Plaza was an old strip center rehabbed around 1998 and the theatre was part of the effort, along with the Publix market. The center opened with mainstream stores and gradually became a mix of ethnic/Latino and low end stores like thrift shops and pay day loan places.
It’s now a Hispanic nightclub, I believe.
