The Landmark Plaza was announced in 1979 and built by Becker Brothers containing and containing the Landmark Bowling Lanes, the Fun City Arcade, Landmark Restaurant and Lounge, and a movie theater as a family fun destination center. The Kerasotes Landmark Cinema 3 launched with “Kramer v. Kramer” on December 19, 1979 with “The Rose” and “Roller Boogie” two days later honoring those opening dates.

Kerasotes bumped that up to a five screener as the Landmark Cinema 5 on October 3, 1980. Under GKC (George Kerastoes Corporation) operation in November 8, 1985, the venue was changed to the Landmark Mall Cinemas 5 (plural). On October 7, 1988, it expanded to an 8-plex simply as Landmark Mall Cinemas though January 1992. They moved on at the end of lease.

Formerly operated by Nova Cinemas as the Nova Cinemas Peoria, it had a stretch as an independently run cinema. That included a drive-in screen beginning in 2012. The venue closed as Landmark Cinemas at Landmark Recreation Center on August 1, 2023.

(BTW: The Landmark Lanes closed September 2025.)

Should have remained independent.
