Salem Twin Cinema

Naft Enterprises, who operated both the Garrettsville and Columbiana Cinemas at the time, took over the Salem Twin Cinema on April 22, 1992.

The Salem Plaza Twin Cinema was built for franchisees of the United General Theatres Circuit of Los Angeles. The mini-theaters were built with two identical auditoriums seating 200 each. The circuit advertised their automatic, family-friendly theaters using the likenesses of stars including Debbie Reynolds, Glenn Ford, and Agnes Morehead. They were situated within 1972’s new-build Salem Plaza with W.T. Grant’s as the anchor. The theatre didn’t launch until April 11, 1973 with “Funny Girl” and “Avanti.” The theater was still operating into the 2020s.
