This project was announced in 1970 by Robert H. Park, President of Tercar Theatres. Jerry Wilson of Wilson Architects was on the job creating 2-325 and 1-290 seat auditoriums in the 940-seat capacity triplex. It was a completely automated projection booth. The Park III Theatre was named after Terry Park, daughter of Bob Park and Carolyn Josey. The Circuit had a number of locations and was simultaneously building the Southgate Red and Blue Twin. The venue opened with Screens I and III on April 7, 1971 with “Little Murders” and there’s an opening picture in photos. Screen II opened May 12, 1971.
It began ramping down in March of 1978 reducing from three to a single screen. Its last showtimes appear to be May 13, 1978 with a double feature of “The Sting” and “Almost Summer” capped off by the KLOL midnight show of “Slaughter Houses.” A year later, an Eckerd’s Drug Store had invaded its former space.
