Could be more, but the only two that I think were CINERAMA were the Clairidge in Montclair and the Bellevue in UPPER MONTCLAIR. On the other hand, not to make you feel bad, but at one time or another New York State had about 13 CINERAMA Theatres!

Is this really demolished? It seems on Bing Maps that there is a theatre at that location.

Before it was called the Cinema Movie theater, it was called Temple Inn. It was next to a very fancy restaurant that I think was called Dick’s. What I remember best about the Cinema Theater was that it showed Double Feature B movies – never first run – and ticket prices were the lowest in Union City.
