@Davidcoppock: Most likely.
Opened on 10th June 1977 with on.screen 1 with “Rocky”, screen 2 with “King Kong(1970’s version?)” and screen 3 with “Network”.
I think it became a dollar cinema in the early 80s. I remember my Dad took me to see Blake Edwards' S.O.B. here when I was a kid (because they put “PG” on the marquee instead of “R”).
This was opened by Transcontinental Theatres. Grand opening ad posted.
I saw numerous films here as a kid we would walk with my mom and spend time across the street at Kids R Us and Toys R Us.. super fond times… from what I can remember I saw Hocus Pocus, Beauty and The Beast, The Bodyguard, Bad Boys, Home Alone, Jurassic Park over 20xs when it played for over a year … My Girl, Robin Hood, Selena, Thelma and Louise, The Rocketeer, Bethoveen, Sister Act 2… they even knew me by name .. I loved it it was a simple three screen no frills but fun.
Not sure. I’d be surprised if it actually was a first run theater at some point.
Did this theatre open as a Dollar Cinema or was it ever first run?
And I also believe I saw the Little Rascals movie at this theater.
Now we need some pictures of this theater, or what used to be.
I’m the one who submitted this theater info to this site, btw.
I saw The Flintstones Movie, Toy Story and Mr. Magoo at this theater.
