The Carriage Square opened on May 25, 1979 with two screens seating 640. It was operated by Trolley Theatres and the opening movies were Jane Fonda in “The China Syndrome” & Angela Lansbury in “Bedknobs and Broomsticks”. Later taken over by Plitt, they closed it on July 22, 1987.

It was reopened by Cineplex Odeon on June 24, 1988, operating as a discount house but that was short lived and it closed as a theatre for good on November 3, 1988.

It has since been converted to a gym.

Some of the information is wrong.

The Carriage Square Trolley opened its doors on Trolley Theatres on May 25, 1979 with “The China Syndrome” in Screen 1 and Disney’s “Bedknobs And Broomsticks” in Screen 2. Plitt later took it over who suddenly closed the theater on January 22, 1987 with the double feature of “Children Of A Lesser God” and “Peggy Sue Got Married” in Screen 1 and “Mosquito Coast” in Screen 2, leaving the theater abandoned for a year-and-a-half.

It wasn’t until Cineplex Odeon stepped up to the plate and reopened the theater again on June 24, 1988, showing “Three Men And A Baby” in Screen 1 and “Biloxi Blues” in Screen 2 as a second-run discount house. This didn’t last long, and closed by Cineplex Odeon on November 3, 1988.

  • NOTE: This is NEVER operated by Loews nor Loews Cineplex. Loews Cineplex also didn’t exist at the time.
