This opened as the Paramount Theatre in 1950. It originally housed 860 seats and was the neighbor to Joseph Derry’s Palace Theatre. The original projectionist is Jack Shea. The Paramount was purchased in 1982 by the Rattai Family (who at the time was operating the Sunset Drive-In until after the 1985 season) and was renamed as Century Cinema.
It remained as a single-screener until 1998, although it did perpetually got engulfed in a cloud of smoke at one time. After renovation in late 1998, it was tripled and two more screens were added (including one in the balcony).
