The actual opening date is November 17, 1965 with “Casanova 70”, twinned in June 1972, and first closed on September 1, 1997 after screening “Conspiracy Theory” in Screen 1 and “Air Force One” in Screen 2, before being abandoned for several years afterward.

I cannot find its grand opening date, but I’m very sure the Starlite may’ve opened on April 8, 1950 with “Jackpot Jitters” and “Susanna Pass” (unknown if extras added).
The Starlite also received internet fame for its run of “Cars” during the week of July 14, 2006, where the famous quote “I’m sorry to interrupt but we need Marsha and Ron Barnes to come up and get their child up at the concession stand? Thank you!” was said through its PA system by one of the Starlite operators. The entire message itself, recorded from a TeleSync system, was caught on several bootleg VHS tapes of the movie and the full clip itself became viral on the internet 15 years later.
