Closed in early-1999 when Hoyts opened the new Enfield 12 at the Enfield Square Mall.

Used to frequent this location a lot back in the 80s and 90s. I’d love to find any information or old photos of the cinemas.
The Cine Enfield 1 & 2 opened its doors by SBC on February 18, 1972 with Walt Disney’s “Song Of The South” in Screen 1 and “John Wayne And The Cowboys” in Screen 2. It originally opened as a twin housing 660 seats (with 330 seats in each auditorium) and 32ft concave screens installed in both auditoriums.
Two more screens were added in 1978 bringing a total to four screens. At the time, it was renamed the Cine Enfield 1-2-3-4. In December 1981, another two more screens were added bringing a total to six screens, and was renamed the Cine Enfield 6. Finally on June 21, 1985, another two more screens were added bringing a total to eight screens, and was renamed the Cine Enfield 8.
Hoyts last operated the Enfield who closed it on December 17, 1998 when Hoyts opened their 12-screener the following day.
Screens 3 & 4 opened on May 2nd, 1975, Screens 5 & 6 opened on December 18th, 1981 and Cine Enfield 7 & 8 opened on June 21st, 1985. Grand opening ads posted.
