The Erne opened on 7 October 1946, a month before the Abbey with “The Valley of Decision” starring Greer Garson and Gregory Peck. A fire closed the cinema in 1969 when the balcony and roof were damaged. The Rock Hall in the town was brought back into service for screenings on a temporary basis but it looks like the Erne never reopened. There was talk of it being used as a factory for fishing equipment.
The Abbey opened on 17 November 1946 designed as a theatre and cinema. Previews were held for specially invited guests the day before when “Saratoga Trunk” was shown. It must have closed for films at some point in the 1960s as it was opened again on 30 November 1969 by a Mr O'Connell, probably as a result of the Erne having been damaged by fire.
The Classic opened on 29 January 1987 and was a reopening of the Astor Cinema that closed about two years earlier.

A “Cinema” is recorded in the 1923 edition of the Kine Year Book run by J. Powell with Bandon Cinema appearing in the 1928 edition run by T. Lowney. He or she appears to have been partnered with a Mr O'Brien from 1942 with O'Brien going it alone by the early-1960s. Electric Rep was later replaced with a Western Electric sound system.
