50sSNIPES commented about Screening Room on Jun 20, 2026 at 7:03 am

This opened as the Super Flicks & Food, opening on January 5, 1996 with the triple feature of “Babe”, “Fair Game”, and “Copycat”. It originally planned to open three days beforehand but was postponed for unknown reasons. The theater’s name was shortened to Superflicks before closing on June 6, 1998 with “City Of Angels” and “Goodwill Hunting”.

On March 30, 1999, the theater was twinned and reopened as the Screening Room, reopening with “Life Is Beautiful” in Screen 1 and a double feature of “Gods & Monsters” and “Rushmore”.

There’s an article from May 1930 that confirms about 60 theaters in Kansas, Missouri, and Iowa taken over by Fox Midwest, and one of the cities listed is Nevada, Missouri. So I’m very sure the Arbo could be one of them.
