Original name: Roseland. I believe a photo of the theatre before its modernization can be seen in the present lobby.
This closed on November 28th, 2010.
As of right now, my church, The River Worship Centre, is in the process of restoring this building! Unfortunately, we will not be able to run the original 35mm projectors, but will be using the building as a community center as well as our church. We are building a stage in front of the screen and will support dramas, plays, weddings, etc. Also, our pastor, D.J. Edwards, is a master magician, and will use the stage to hold his performances as well. We are very excited to re-open this building after 6 years of sitting vacant!
Opened in 1921.
The Flat River Movies 2 launched July 30, 1982 with “Six Pack” and “Firefox.” The venue replaced the Roseland Theatre which had been closed on October 15, 1981 and demolished. Kerasotes sold out to AMC Theatres on January 18, 2010 and this one had its name changed to the AMC Flat River 2. It closed as the AMC Flat River 2 later that year on November 28, 2010.
