Opened as a franchise of National Mini-Theatres, Inc. with a seating count of 325 in each auditorium for a total count of 650 seats.
Last operated by Loews under the name Loews Cinnaminson Twin, and closed on August 23, 1990 with “Ghost Dad” in Screen 1 and “Total Recall” in Screen 2.
Regarding Rick B’s 2006 comment: Music Makers wasn’t the original owner. MM bought this theatre along with one named the Triangle and one or two others in that area such as the East Windsor. This was around 1976 or so. I worked for the chain then and remember the acquisition/expansion. They were pretty far-flung from where many of the MM screens were…Monmouth and Ocean counties.
This opened on May 23rd, 1973. Grand opening ad in photo section.
What kind of Theatre would have piles of trash piled up in front of the Screen.Hard to believe that one.Maybe a few popcorn boxes?
Saw The Cable Guy here, and there were mounds of trash piled up in front of the screen. Ick.
But back in the day I took in Dirty Dancing, Star Trek IV, Critters II, Karate Kid II..bud used to mention having a blast at Ski Patrol there.
Here’s a photo I found online:

Originally operated by the Music Makers chain, later an independent dollar theater that lasted into the ‘90s I think. The Cinnaminson Mall was a flop that wound up with most of its space occupied by a technical school; the theater was just about the only successful “retail” business there aside from the anchor stores (Woolco, later Caldor). The whole complex is expected to be demolished soon, if it isn’t gone already.
