This duplex was known as the Illinois Valley Cinema 2 by July of 1974 and as the New Illinois Twin Valley Twin Cinema on September 3, 1974. Later renamed as the Illinois Valley Cinemas, it was closed by George Kerasotes Corporation (GKC) on October 31, 1995.

The closure of the Illinois Valley Cinemas in 1996 left one movie house still operating in LaSalle, and it was the Showplace Cinemas (former Kerasotes/GKC house; also a twin-screener) nearby (until closure sometime in the mid-2000s).

The Illinois Valley Cinemas was once operated by Network Cinema Corporation and lastly by GKC Theatres.
