Two more screens were added in 1977, bringing a total to three screens. At the time, all three auditoriums went under the auditorium names “Shizuoka Shochiku” (later renamed “Shizuoka Piccadilly 1”), “Shizuoka Meigaza” (later renamed “Shizouka Piccadilly 2”), and “Small Theater”, but kept the Orion signages for a while. One fun fact about the Meigaza auditorium is that Screen 2 originally housed an indoor ice-skating rink.

The entire theater was later renamed “Shizouka Piccadilly Theatre”, and last operated with 888 seats (with the Shochiku auditorium having 483 seats, the Meigaza having 315 seats, and the Small Theater having 90 seats).
