July 17th, 1987 grand opening ad in photo section.
When announced in 1985, the Florida Mall project was drawn up as a 9-plex. The Mall, itself, launched theatre-less on March 12, 1986. The theatre was part of a $9 million addition. When the Movies at Florida Mall had its Grand Opening on July 24, 1987, the venue was reduced to a 7-plex with 70mm capability and Dolby Stereo sound. It had its final big event - a World Premiere screening of “Olive Juice” on February 14, 2001. But just a week later, it closed permanently on February 22, 2001 following the circuit’s declaration of bankruptcy. It was one of 12 theatres in Central Florida which closed in a two month period as General Cinema and Loews joined in the closures.
