NOTE: “Top Gun” already ran at the Mercier a few weeks prior to closure.
It was later renamed the Mercier Cinema in 1976, and around that time it was operated by Kerasotes, who also last operated the theater. It was twinned on November 14, 1980, and closed for the final time on September 10, 1986 with “One Crazy Summer” in Screen 1 and “Flight Of The Navigator” in Screen 2. During its days as a twin, it was last known as Mercier Cinema 1 & 2.
The theater closed in 1986, it’s last film was Too Gun. I remember seeing Return of the Jedi there in 1983.
This theatre goes back to the 1920’s when it was known as the Electric Theatre. The Boller Brothers did a complete remodel of the existing theatre and it was then renamed the Mercier Theatre. In 1934 it was owned by the Electric Theatre Company. This theatre should have an AKA Electric Theatre.
Just to point out, Mercier Theater is not located on 220 Main Street. It’s 18 North Jackson. I live in the apartment above Edward Jones…
