Kerasotes Theatres launched the ShowPlace 8 on November 14, 2003 after a free preview the night before. More than 1,300 folks came for the free shows resulting in hundreds of folks being turned away. The opening replaced two aging twin-screen locations in town. The ShowPlace replaced the nearby Sandburg Mall Cinema 1 & 2 and the downtown West Cinema 1 & 2 which both closed November 13, 2003. The West was unable to make it to its 100th birthday though got past the 90 year mark with room to spare.
