Correction:

The Empress Theatre paired with the Imperial Cinema in Wanchai on the Hong Kong Island in 1974.

My memory can only go back to the time when Empress was paired up with New York in Causway Bay, possibly in 1979, then Imperial after New York was closed, then Park in the late eighties.

Empress is one of my favourite cinemas showing many blockbusters. I watched “Star Wars II”, “the Abyss” and queued for an hour to buy tickets for “Rambo” (ok I was only 15 at that point!). It has long been paired with New York in Causeway Bay then Imperial in Wan Chai. The sound quality was brilliant and it was a good day out there with a mega department store (Da Da) opposite. Since the sad demolition and the closure of the department store, the area went downhill and the new complex couldn’t really lift the area. Hence the new Empress cinemas were only opened for a short period.
