LM, the photo in your first post was of the original Hollywood, which burned down in the mid-1990s. The community pressured R/C Theatres to replace it with the current 4-screener.

The original Hollywood Theatre opened in 1936, although I cannot find its grand opening advertisement, an article from 1998 said that it opened with “Show Boat”. It was twinned in 1984, and remained like that until the Hollywood Theatre suffered destruction from a raging electrical fire in 1995. The Hollywood Theatre reopened with four screens in May 1998 after a big rebuilt.
Please update, theatre opened in 1935, newspaper article in the photos section. It was twinned and opened as a 4 screens on May 23, 1998
