Construction of the Clearwater Cinemas started on February 7, 1980 by SRO Theatres, who also operated many other theaters across the tri-cities. It was originally planned to be built as a 600-seat twin (with 400 seats at Screen 1 and 200 seats at Screen 2) but ended up adding another screen before construction started.
The Clearwater Cinemas opened its doors by SRO on June 20, 1980 with “Rough Cut” at Screen 1, “Can’t Stop The Music” at Screen 2, and “The Black Stallion” at Screen 3.
After SRO was sold in December 1986, all of its indoor theaters there became part of Cineplex Odeon and later Act III Theatres. It was last operated by Regal before closing for the final time in December 2000, alongside the nearby Metro 4 in Richland, due to financial troubles.
Wow—I also saw GUNG HO there—
First movie I saw here was “Gung Ho” with Michael Keaton. In more fanatical times, I also saw “U2: Rattle And Hum” five times during a weekend, including one blurred showing.
