This opened on May 24th, 1972. Grand opening ad in the photo section. It was the first twin cinema in this county.

I remember seeing Rocky Horror there 2 times. The left side theatre had a pretty big screen from what I remember, but the right side theatre was small. I don’t remember much other than that. I do remember that the entrance was actually in the mall, which was one of the problems. They had to gate off the rest of the mall when the last shows got out.

Very bland is right. Was a twin from day one.

Went to American Graffeti, the re-release of The Sound of Music and Shrinking Woman.

Not an impressive mall or an impressive theatre by any means.

Usually, a last resort.

I think this cinema actually opened with two screens, sometime in the early 1970s. I’m pretty sure it closed in 1993, because I remember seeing THE GOOD SON there and it was gone pretty soon after that. It was right near the second entrance to K-Mart, which opened right into the mall. The entire mall was gutted and became a larger series of stores.
