Throughout 1977 and 1978, the Stroud Mall slowly opened many stores such as J.C. Penney, Stewarts, and Hess’s. However, around that same time, a movie theater was planned inside the Strouds Mall in August 1977. It did and the theater was built inside the mall shortly after the mall opened its first stores.
The Stroud Mall Cinema 1-5 opened in 1978 with five screens and was first managed by Pat Boyle. Two more screens were added in the 1980s bringing a total to 7 screens and was renamed the “Stroud Mall Cinema 1-7” and later “Loews Stroud Mall 7” after being taken over by Loews. I cannot find who first operated the Stroud Mall Cinema before its Loews takeover.
In 1994, the theater became a Sony theater and was renamed “Sony Stroud Mall 7” but retained its Loews signages. The theater went back to Loews in 1996 and rechanged its name back to “Loews Stroud Mall 7” and remained as a Loews theater until its bankruptcy in 2006.
On January 27, 1971, the Sherman Theatre became a twin theater as the Sherman I & II Theatre. The theater remained as a twin until closing as a movie house in the mid-1980s.
I mistakenly said 1948 on accident on the older page, but this is taken way earlier than that. So I apologized, I get my brain completely scrambled sometimes.
The theater first opened with a different name but was unknown at this time. It changed its name to the Cotter Theatre in 1917 after manager Frank Dawson remodeled the theater, and three years later it changed its name once again to the Hopkins Theatre in May 1920 after being purchased by C.E. Hopkins of Cotter from W.M. DeLapp of Mountain Home and remodeled the theater including new improvements being installed.
This replaced the Kokomo Mall 8 (formerly known as Kokomo Mall Cinemas I-II-III and Kokomo Mall Cinemas I-II-III-IV) across the street, which will have its own Cinema Treasures page soon.
According to Cinematour, this theater actually closed on September 6, 2001, just five days before 9/11. I didn’t see evidence on the theater afterward.
The Auditorium dates back as early as 1912 and was later named Auditorium Theatre in 1919. The Auditorium Theatre was a longtime movie theater for the city and was dominant there, but closed in 1975 in connection of a then-new cinema only a mile south of downtown which was later known as the Mall 5 Theatres. Stillwater left without a cinema since the closure of the Mall 5 Theatres in the late 1990s (or possibly early 2000s).
General Cinema operated the Britton from April 15, 1959 until August 25, 1991. After temporarily closing for nearly two months, the Britton reopened as a Muvico theater in October 1991 before Regal took it over four years later in 1995.

The Classic Theatre continued operating into the 1960s. It did not close by 1957.
On January 27, 1971, the Sherman Theatre became a twin theater as the Sherman I & II Theatre. The theater remained as a twin until closing as a movie house in the mid-1980s.
This picture was actually Clearwater’s Carib Theatre, not Miami Beach’s.
Yes, this was a twin when it originally operated from 1966 until 1991.
The Sutton Motor-In closed for the final time on August 4, 1996 due to nonpayment of a $2,692 bill for police details.
Did it demolish right after closure?
Short-lived. The Showplace closed in 1977.

Correction: It’s the west section of Baxter County, not north section.

First opened as the Sundance Cinemas 6 in 2003, and changed its name to the Sun Valley Cinemas 6 two years later in 2005.

Opened on May 2, 1969.
