Still open when I first visited in 1998. Following its closure a music store occupied the building. By 2023 it was in use as a restaurant.

Good history of the cinema at this Youtube link. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3VeYSCfDSA
Couldn’t you incorporate some of this information in the blurb?
Opened in 1968 with The Graduate, Dolby Stereo installed for Annie, came close to closing in 1990 with Darkman but was spared and renovated, reopening in 1991 with Robin Hood Prince of Thieves. Greedy owners later kept the curtains open and stage lights off to show ugly advertising slides and most of the theater’s character was destroyed (curtains still closed and lights came up after the last show of the night), theater closed February 13 1999 with the Oscar reissue of Saving Private Ryan which moved to the Stadium 5 theater the next day for its grand opening.
Screen at Cinema 2 was rather small and in a weird 2:1 ratio for scope cropping the sides.
Raising Cane’s chicken is now in this space. Restrooms are the only thing remaining the same. Eating area and kitchen are in what used to be the auditorium.
