The Church Hill Cinema opened its doors as a 900-seat single-screener on April 5, 1969 with Clint Eastwood in “Where Eagles Dare” featuring stereophonic sound and 26 speakers. On July 1, 1977, the Church Hill Cinema became the Church Hill Twin Cinema when it was twinned, housing 772 seats (with 386 in each auditorium). It was briefly renamed the Hazleton Cinema Center in 1992 before being renamed the Hazelton Cinemas in May of that same year.

On July 17, 1992, it became a five-screen theater, with 710 seats in total. Cinema I was twinned by running a wall from the left to right side, while Cinema II was divided three times into three theaters also by running walls from left to right. Two more screens were added in 1993 bringing a total to seven. It was closed on June 10, 1999.
