Modell’s Sporting Good occupies the Premiere Theater space. If you walk to the rear of the store, notice the angled diagonal walls leading to the former screen.
The Premiere was a really great theater when it first opened and was single screen. It was also the first theater I remember with surround sound.
This theatre was opened originally by Ramon Posel, who also owned the Leo Theatre and The Bucks Mall Coloinal Theatre, before selling these 3 theatres to AMC Theatres. Mr. Posel kept the Ritz 5 Theatre and built the Ritz chain to 4 theatres before his passing.
Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back opened here in 1980.
