General Cinema closed the cinema on October 5th, 2000, and Entertainment Film Works reopened it on September 7th, 2001, before being evicted for non-payment of rent on November 19th, 2002. Another ad posted.
This was renamed the Canton Centre Cinema I & II on May 26th, 1989. It was rebuilt and reopened with 8 screens on January 26th, 1990. Grand opening ads posted.
Two screens on November 2nd, 1973. Another ad posted.
The Mellett Mall Cinema opened on December 20th, 1968. It had 1,048 seats at its opening. Grand opening ad posted.
The cinema remained connected to the mall. It operated until October 5, 2000, when GCC closed it for good. Shortly thereafter another “company” re-opened the theater for a few months, but was shut down again when they neglected to pay rent – ever. The cinema, along with the vacant Montgomery Ward’s store, was demolished in 2004 to make way for a new shadow anchor (i.e. within spitting distance yet unconnected) Wal-Mart Super Center that opened in 2005.
