Great news about you theatre folks being honored! I’ll check out the Imperial site. Haven’t heard from Bill in months now. I’ll also take a look at the Belmont. I remember Mrs. Peggy…very nice lady. She gave us a complete lesson on process of booking films for the Belmont. I remember she ranted about Disney’s restrictions for drive-in showings. She wasn’t a happy camper about that!
I lived in Tamps from 1983-1996 and it is sad to think that all that is left of all those great theaters that eventuallu opened is AMC megaplexes. UGH
Yeah,Nick leave a comment on the BElmont.
Mikeoaklandpark, Megaplexes are the only theatres that exist in Tampa now with the exception of the Tampa Theatre. I don’t recall any other single-screeners still operating in the area. Unless you count the twin-screen BEACH THEATRE in St. Pete Beach which is about as close to a single-screen as you’re gonna get today.
The Beach is a twin? I’ve been in there plenty of times and only saw the main auditorium. Unless, of course, there’s a balcony?
Sorry my error! I just checked and the Beach is still a single screen theatre. Don’t know how I figured it to be a twin. I was probably thinking of another older area theatre that was twinned several years ago…the Zephyrhills Home Theatre. How I confused this one with the Beach is beyond me. Sorry for the scare! I need to check facts before posting.
Nick,you outta see all the errors I make.LOL.
Horizon Park 4 opened on August 26, 1971 and closed on September 29, 1997. Remember Twin Bays 4 in South Tampa right behind the Britton Theatre? It also opened on the same day as Horizon Park 4 and ironically closed just one month later on September 28, 1997. Both theatres were open for just over 26 years.

The AMC Horizon Park 4 closed on September 30, 1997 with “Hoodlum,” “Fire Down Below,” “Money Talks” and “Kull: The Conqueror.” The AMC Twin Bays 4, which had opened the same day as the Horizon Park, closed two days prior on September 28, 1997.
