Thanks Bob for the info. I didn’t know MANN Theatres were outside the state of California.
Just following comments. Thanks!
Mann was on the East Coast too, when they bought the National General Corp..
Last movie I saw here was Deepstar Six, right when they were adding the addition to the mall. The theater used to be the last occupant before you went outside. Then, they added the addition which included Dillards and it shut down shortly there after.
Dickenson wouldn’t take the new lease the mall was offering with additional screens. Late shows exiting patrons in the middle of a mall that closed at 9 p.m. became awkward.
Please update the street to the East Hills Mall located at the SouthEast corner of Belt+Frederick i have tried to update it in the picture but was unsuccessful. The Fox was located at the SouthEast side of the mall. The current picture is about 6-8 miles souht of the Mall. location
On Wednesday 27June1973 THe FOX EAST Hills Theater showed the MidWest Premiere of the movie called Papermoon with Ryan O Neal + Tatum O Neal. This was a big deal in St Joseph Mo this movie was filmed and produced in St Joseph area.
Needs to have the address and description corrected. Theater wasn’t just in a neighborhood, it was in a mall, and East Hills is not the street name.
