The Bell Tower West would have its own CinemaTreasures page soon, as this is the original Bell Tower East/Bell Tower North before being bridged together on May 23, 1997. The Bell Tower East opened as the Bell Tower 6 on December 17, 1982, and the Bell Tower North 18 opened on June 25, 1993.
There were two Lyric Theatres in Oshkosh. The first one was torn down in May 1910 to replace it with a newer Lyric Theatre which opened later that year. The theater closed in 1915.
The 44 Outdoor Theatre opened its gates on July 15, 1949 with Larry Parks in “The Swordsman” along with a cartoon and a newsreel.
Later that October 10, a portion of a fence that surrounds the theater (that was constructed by the Valley Construction Company of Neenah) was blown by heavy winds during severe weather. It was operated by S&M Theatres Incorporated.
I saw that. It appears that the Arcade is now closed because of major flooding inside from Ian. The video appears that it was taken on September 28, a few hours right after landfall.
Correction: The Cape Coral Cinema reopened as a twin on September 30th, 1977 (not 28th) with “Fire Sale” at Screen 1 and “The Other Side Of Midnight” at Screen 2.
Yeah. The Spotlight is still open, so we’ll leave that a side. Since Regal has a chance on leaving the scenery with bankruptcy, I’m not sure what’s gonna be next for the Town Center or the Gulf Coast or the 500 other theaters from the chain.
Mike, I just found out that three of the theaters in Southwest Florida were not listing showtimes due to Hurricane Ian. All of them were 16 screeners, and two of them were not part of their own Cinema Treasures pages.
The AMC Merchants Crossing 16 in North Fort Myers (which would have its own Cinema Treasures page soon), the Regal Town Center 16 in Port Charlotte (which would have its own Cinema Treasures page soon), and the Regal Gulf Coast 16 in Fort Myers were devastated in Hurricane Ian damage probably.
The page needs to get updated immediately. The theater was taken over by Emagine shortly after closure and reopened in 2020 as “Emagine Eagan”. It is still opened today under the Emagine chain.
Opened on April 16, 1911.
The Bijou became the Majestic in February 1913. The Majestic closed in 1927.
The screen tower was demolished in 2020 according to searches from Google Earth and Maps.

The theater was converted into a HOM Furniture Dock 86 store in mid-2021.
Demolished in October 2017. A TopGolf now sits in the theater’s site.
Demolished in early 2014.
Alright. I’ll look at that later. Thanks.
A 1953 aerial shows that the theater hasn’t been built yet, so it probably opened in 1954 (or 1955 if not).
It appears that the theater opened in 1954. A 1953 aerial shows that the theater hasn’t been built yet.
Demolished during the second quarter of the 1990s.
It looks like it was closed in the mid-1970s, and may’ve demolished in the early 1980s.
