Expanded to four screens in 1977, but retained its twin name for some strange reason. Two more screens were added in 1990, bringing a total to six screens, and the theater dropped the “twin” name and was renamed the “Belden Village Cinemas”. This lasted until closure on July 26, 1997.
I wish I could find an actual photo of this theater. Long before I was fascinated by movie theaters I saw Jurassic Park here while on vacation to visit the Football Hall of Fame with my brother. I remember buying tickets at the box office in one building and then walking down the parking lot and entering an entirely separate building for our movie. Definitely my first time experiencing detached cinemas. I was only 15 at the time and wasn’t really paying close attention to the theater itself, but now that I hear the main building was a Jerry Lewis design, it makes sense that they would have had to build a big auditorium in a separate building.
