Judging by newspaper archives, the Fox Theatre indeed closed on March 30, 1988 with “Police Academy 5 - Assignment Miami Beach”.

I think its billing meant to be the smallest in the state, and not the smallest in the world. The Randall opened with “Forbidden” and “Creature From The Black Lagoon” (unknown if extras added), and was named after its original owner, Alan Randall.

50sSNIPES commented about New Huntington Theater on Mar 31, 2026 at 4:53 am

Opened on November 9, 1904 with Maude Adams in a live presentation of “The Little Minister”. It was also a replacement of an earlier Huntington Theatre that operated as early as 1890. The opening of the nearby Huntington 7 Theatre caused the closure of the downtown Huntington Theatre as a movie theater in 1999.

Closed in the mid-1980s, and demolished in 1986 to make way for the Caylor Nickel Medical Center, which opened on June 24, 1987.

Still visible in the 1966 aerial view with its screen and glory, but was already wiped by the late-1970s. For some strange reason, it was still listed in the 1977 topo but I’m very sure it was already gone by then.

Judging by 1980, it appears to be in operational condition. However, the screen was removed by 1984, but the traces are still clean judging by that year’s aerial view.

Appears to be still operating into the mid-1980s, judging by a 1985 aerial view with its screen, glory, and good condition. It was already gone by the mid-1990s.

A 1978 aerial view shows the theater with its screen and glory just before the property was sold in September of that same year. All had already vanished by 1983.

Gone by the early-1980s, as a 1984 aerial view shows tiny homes and several businesses.
