This page has pictures of this theater both as the Unique and the Kings Square.
Some of the comments here (including one of mine) inadvertently led to some posted misinformation here concerning this particular theater, though it is easy to see how things got a bit confused. The picture that I posted on November 14, 2009 and the one posted by Gerald A. DeLuca are not of the King Square Cinema (which was located on Charlotte Street and has been demolished). They are of the almost identically named King Square Cinemas that has a separate entry here on CT and faces Kings Square on its north side. That theater still stands as of 2012 though closed.
As noted this theater was originally named the Unique, then the Strand, then the Odeon, and finally the King Square Cinema before it was demolished. The Kings Square Cinemas began life as the Paramount before it was renamed the Kings Square Cinemas.
Wish the above picture was clearer.
The King Square Cinema on Charlotte Street should be listed as demolished because there’s now a parking lot on the former theatre site beside the buildings that it used to be next door to.
Its in the same building that the paramount was
Kings Square cinemas is in a different Location Not Charlotte street
I read something about it was also the Paramount? as the building looks exactly the same as the Paramount.
I was up visiting Saint John and saw it’s sad state but, interestingly it was neat to see that all the old coming attraction signs were still standing and the marquee was still in Great shape. I’m wandering what the inside would like now and hopefully they don’t demolish but, make something of it.
In a bit i will post a link to some of the images i took of the theater
Sorry, forgot the link: View link
There is a picture of the King Square Cinema on this page (scroll down to see it). It apparently closed as a twin.
