The Orleans Theatre was built in 1936 by the Wilcox family as a Stage/Movie Theatre. A single screen venue with 599 seats. In December 1969, the theatre was purchased by Interstate Theatres and renamed the Orleans Cinema. In 1977, Interstate twinned the auditorium 306/255. In 1988, Hoyts Cinemas purchased Interstate Theatres and ran Orleans seasonal only in 1988 and 1989, after which it closed and sold to a retail developer. The building was and still is leased to the CVS Pharmacy chain.
