The Beaver Valley was reopened in November 2005 after being closed for four and a half years. Ben Terrill reopened the theatre as The Bargain Box Office.
After doing poor business and dropping the Beaver Valley name, Terrill now calls the theatre The Bargain Box Office in the Beaver Valley Shopping Centre. At first he said in the Lofino’s Shopping Centre (which it is in) but Terrill did not anything about the “Beaver Valley’s former life” in the ads or on the recording…at first. The confused some people who knew what Beaver Valley was but not a Bargain Box Office. Later more confusion started when the ads ran saying Bargain Box Office Beavercreek which lead you to believe the Bargain Box Office was the Beavercreek 7 just up the street and not the Beaver Valley .Also the Beaver Valley address for the first 30 years of her life was 3349 East Patterson Road, Beavercreek, OH now the address is 3349 Seajay Drive Beavercreek, OH.
So with a new name and address you can see how it would confuse someone. Anyway the Beaver Valley / Bargain Boxoffice seats 2,000 people with four cinemas holding 400 and two smaller cinemas holding 200 in each. Terrill installed an updated the concessions area, carpeting and floor tile in the lobby. He updated the projection and sound equipment, and had the theater seats cleaned. The theatre is $ $3.00 with $2.00 Tuesday & Wednesday. About 50 cents higher than Danbarry Dollar Saver. Bargain Box Office sometimes gets movies after they leave Regal 20 but still play first run at the Showcases.
Bargain Box Office since opening the Beaver Valley reopened the former Cinema 6 aka Regal 6 in Chillicothe, OH.

Greg Opt, you might enjoy this “Caligula” story:
When it was booked into a small beach theater in SoCal, my wife and I curiously attended this potpourri of history, hype and horny porn, which cost us a total of 12 bucks for the privilege!
After the showing we attended, there were long lines of folks around the block. I went home, quickly fashioned a toga from a bedsheet, put on sandals and resurrected some of the Latin I’d previously learned back in high school: “De profundis, clamavat ad te, Domine! Dona nobis pacem!” or “Quotidianum da nobis hodie” or “Mater Caesaris erat meratrix!” (The last one roughly translates to “Caesar’s old lady was a hooker.”) Imperiously intoning all of the above, I walked among the eager, milling throng and added in English, “Caesar himself urges you to save six denarii and go get a pizza instead. My cousin ‘Caligula’ bites the big one!”
To our amazement, a few smart ones actually listened and dropped out of line. I had struck a blow for taste and against Bob Guccione & Co.
Bargain Box Office Cinemas was forced out due to failure to pay rent by LaFinos who owns the shopping center. The cinema was closed last week and reopens tonight at 7pm. It is once again Beaver Valley Cinema and all seats are still $3.50.
LaFinos took the cinema from Bargain Box Office. Bargain Box Office sent press releases out and told mailing list costumers that the cinema was closed. For showtimes call (937) 426-1700 that’s the new number.
Yeah they are open again. I used to work for the company thats running it currently and I got emailed an advertisement for a Christmas Party Movie night there.
Finally closed in 2009.
Sad but inevitable news: The Beaver Valley Cinema was demolished on December 11, 2015 to clear the site for ‘future development’. Here is a link to one article referencing the razing:

I worked there for most of the period from 1984 thru 1992, and I’m certain that the seat count listed is incorrect. Houses 1, 3, 4 & 6 had at least 450 seats each (the two center houses, 3 & 4, had a few more seats than the end houses 1 & 6), while the small houses 2 & 5 were around 300 seats each. So the total seat count was at least 2500 seats for the complex.
This opened on December 23rd, 1977. Grand opening ad in the photo section.
Closed September 18, 2009 as a sub-run discount theatre.
This theatre had 4-70mm engagements and they are listed in an article at the In70mm website
Beaver Valley Cinemas had 2,000 seats with 2 auditoriums with 200 seats and the other 4 each had 400 seats. The theatre was 28,000 SQFT.
