This first opened as a General Cinema, called the GCC Worcester Center Cinema as early as September 1973 as a triplex. The theater also went under a secondary name of “GCC Galleria Mall Cinemas”.
It became the Bijou Cinema sometime around 2001 and closed in late 2004.
The theater first opened as the Brahman Theatre in early December 1973 with “40 Carats” as a single-screener. The theater was then twinned in 1986 and was later tripled around a few years later.
The Skylake Twin opened its gates on February 11, 1976 with “Rooster Cogburn” at Screen 1 and “Cantinflas” and “Death Riddle” (translated in English) at Screen 2.

Update: I just found out that there were two Majestic Theatres in Rhinelander. The first one opened as early as 1911 and closed sometime around 1914 and was relocated.
The second Majestic Theatre began construction in the Spring of 1915 and opened by H.C. Zander on December 16, 1915 with a 6-reel presentation of “Soul of Broadway” starring Valeska Suralt, plus a performance by the theater’s orchestra named after the theater conducted by George Hartman. The Majestic Theatre would then run for many decades in the city of Rhinelander. The theater was remodeled on December 26, 1951, and it was the first to install CinemaScope on July 4, 1954, despite the finishing touches of the nearby Rouman Drive-In with a VistaVision typical screen, even though the neighboring towns such as Woodruff and Minocqua already received CinemaScope before Rhinelander. The theater was still in operation into the 1960s.
Information about the Majestic as of 1915 goes as follows: The theater contains the following: a capacity of 600 seats, then-latest appliances for proper subjects, heating, lighting, ventilating, and projection systems. Two emergency exits in the rear, both plainly marked and the stage can be emptied in short order. The interior decorations as of 1915 were painted pink and old ivory, and the walls and ceiling were built under stucco. The theater is first operated by H.C. Zander.
According to research, this was first known as the “Plaza Cinema” dating back to the very beginning of the mall. The mall opened theater-less for almost a year in September of 1968. The Plaza Cinema opened in 1969 as a single-screener. It also went under an alternate name of “Staunton Plaza Cinema” and later “Staunton Mall Cinema”. It remained as a single-screener until converting into a 6-screen theater sometime in the late 1980s.
This is one out of two drive-ins in Mooresville. The Mooresville-Davidson opened in 1948. It appears that the theater was still in operation after the Charlotte Observer stopped showing advertisements for the theater in 1974. Despite the Observer’s decisions, it appears that the theater continued to run until sometime around the mid-1980s.
Opened around 1953. A 1951 aerial shows that the theater not being built yet. It was closed in the 1980s and demolished in the early 1990s to make way for houses.

The Msrshall Theatre dates back as early as 1923 according to the Marshall Tribute. The Marshall Theatre closed its doors for the final time during the CinemaScope boom in the mid-1950s.
First opened as the “Vaudette” in 1907, before changing its name to the Square Theatre on March 6, 1912. The Square Theatre changed its name to the Princess Theatre under the new management of Thomas Whipple on April 23, 1916.
On January 8, 1917, A.A. Schiffer became the new owner of the theater which was conducted by Whiffle a few months prior. Unfortunately, this errantly turned into a wrong direction.
On February 27, 1917, the Princess Theatre closed its doors for the final time immediately after the owner, Schiffer, took his own life by hanging from a railing of the balcony leading to the projection booth inside the theater. His brother and the operator of the theater, Oscar Schiffer, discovered his body shortly around 4:00 PM right after he entered the building and taking a couple of steps. Schiffer was well-known for the city of Menasha. It was unknown why the owner of the theater committed suicide shortly after he greeted the people working at the theater 30 minutes before the suicide. Shortly before he entered the Princess Theatre for the last time, he was talking to his friend W.H. Pierce at the Pierce Brothers Bowling Alley. Pierce is also the owner of the bowling alley. People at the Princess Theatre knew before the incident that he had a “happy frame of mind”. Shortly after Oscar discovered the body, Dr. G.E. Forkin was called as well as Winnebago County Coroner E.T. Philips. The body was taken to the undertaking parlors of the Menasha Furniture Company, before taking to his house on First Street.

Actually, this is taken around December 1995 (or if not very early 1996). I can tell because of Toy Story being shown on the marquee.
