The Shore 4 Theater opened on November 7, 1939 as the single screen Shore Theater. The Shore Theater was designed by the Philadelphia architectural firm of Thalheimer and Weitz and was operated by Hunt’s Theaters Inc.
Around 1971 the Shore Theater became a twin theater. In the late-1970’s the Shore Theater was combined with the Blaker Theater which was located directly behind the Shore Theater. The combination of the two theaters gave the Shore Theater four screens and it became the Shore 4 Theater.
This theater closed in the early-1990’s and was demolished in 2006. A water slide has been built on the site.

The Blaker theatre was located on the nw corner of this block, not behind or connected to the Shore, which was on the sw corner. The “Shore 4” experience was walking between the theatres, which most people didn’t realize if they weren’t familiar with the situation.
The Shore and Blaker Theatre long idle have been demolished.
Listed as part of Hunt’s Theatres, Inc. in the 1970 FDY & 1976 International Motion Picture Almanac.
The Photos & info above are fantastic. I visted the booth of Hunt’s Shore Twin maybe 20-30 years ago and met the projectionist, Joe Griesbach. Joe is an electronic genius and owns his own electronics store near Wildwood, NJ. The last time I visted Joe, he was doing projection at the Bayshore 8, in North Cape May, NJ. The theatre was once an Acme super market. The last time I talked to Joe on the phone, I think that he told me that “THE FRANKS”, were building a mega-plex in Rio Grande, NJ.
Status hould be closed/demolished.
What a sin to see that big empty dirt lot where once a grand and glorious theatre once stood.
Talk about adding insult to injury — my family and I have vacationed in Wildwood every summer for the past 22 years, and though we’ve never stepped foot in either the Shore or Blaker, it was truly sad to see it gone. Now, whaddya bet they build another stupid condo in its place?
Great photos.
