Opened on May 16, 1997 and closed on September 27, 2014.
Dispatch article….Star Cinemas in Grove City, 2384 Stringtown Rd., has closed, a victim of increased competition and the prohibitive cost of converting to digital projection equipment.
“We built the theater 15 years ago, and I think there were 175 screens that opened after we opened,” said Phil Roberts, managing partner. “It seemed like every movie chain thought Columbus was the place to build a movie theater.”
The recent conversion of movie theaters to digital projection from the 35 mm format was the final blow, he said.
“It would have cost $650,000 to roll out digital,” Roberts said, and that was too much.
Star Cinemas’ Hillsboro location will stay open.
Closed due to being unable to afford digital equipment. Also, Rave (later sold to AMC) put in a modern 14-plex about 2 miles away that took a lot of the business away from the Star.
Closed. Door says thanks for 15 years.
This is an 8-plex located in a suburb south of Columbus, Ohio. Website address is: http://www.starcinemas-ohio.com/Grove%20City.htm
