Correction: The Shinjuku Piccadilly actually first reopened softly after its refurbishment on July 14, 2008 with the Japanese premiere of the Dreamworks smash “Kung Fu Panda” in one of the auditoriums only. The theater officially reopened to the public on July 19, 2008.
When the Shinjuku Shochiku Kaikan opened on October 28, 1958, three other movie theaters in the area also opened that same day, which were the Shinjuku’s Masterpiece, Star, and Shochiku Cultural Engei Hall. Both the Kaikan and Cultural Engei Hall auditoriums were converted into a twin-screen theater operated by Shochiku before its September 28, 1962 reopening and would remain like that until its closure on May 14, 2006 despite the two additional screens being added on both July 4, 1987 and August 12, 1992.
