The Middlesex Mall Cinemas was located inside the Middlesex Mall on Stelton Road at Hadley Road in South Plainfield.
It was opened by United Artists as a twin screen cinema on May 24, 1972 with Charlton Heston in “Skyjacked” and Gene Hackman in “The French Connection”.
Towards the end of it’s days, the theatre was fairly run down and was ultimately closed by Creative Entertainment on November 4, 1993 with Sylvester Stallone in “Demolition Man” & Robert De Niro in “A Bronx Tale”. One of its main claims to fame was the midnight showings of “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” on weekends.

Went to American Graffeti, the re-release of The Sound of Music and Shrinking Woman.
Not an impressive mall or an impressive theatre by any means.
Usually, a last resort.
Very bland is right. Was a twin from day one.
I remember seeing Rocky Horror there 2 times. The left side theatre had a pretty big screen from what I remember, but the right side theatre was small. I don’t remember much other than that. I do remember that the entrance was actually in the mall, which was one of the problems. They had to gate off the rest of the mall when the last shows got out.
This opened on May 24th, 1972. Grand opening ad in the photo section. It was the first twin cinema in this county.
Followed a few weeks later on June 7, 1972 by Middlesex counties second twin cinema, the Jerry Lewis Twin Cinema in Carteret NJ

Creative Entertainment is a film buyer service for independent theatres, their not a chain that operates the theatre. The theatre is run by private owners that use their service to book them films at 50sSNIPES.
It does say Creative Entertainment on New Jersey newspapers. So I don’t know why.
