The Route 495 Cinema Center actually went with two names, the Route 495 Cinema Center and the Route 495 Cinema Centre. The “Center” name changed to “Centre” in December 1984.
The Mall Cinema opened its doors in 1968, and was taken over by General Cinema in November 1972, who twinned the theater that same month becoming the Mall Twin. General Cinema ran away from Monticello during the early-1980s, which was then taken over by Florin-Creative. Both auditoriums were divided into a quad in August 1987, and the theater became the Mall Quad. It was closed on April 5, 2009.
This started life as the Route 495 Cinema City. The Boston Globe didn’t start advertising the theater until December 1974, so I’m very sure greg6363 is 100% correct that it opened in October of that year. It was renamed the Route 495 Cinema Centre in December 1976.
During its final years of operation, it was known as Hoyts Milford 3 before closing on March 2, 1997.
A 1984 aerial view shows the theater appearing to be operational, but unfortunately I cannot confirm if the theater was still operating or not at the time. It was demolished by the end of the decade.
The Island Cinema opened its doors on November 15, 2005 with “Harry Potter And The Goblin Of Fire”. It was closed on October 31, 2008 with “Young@Heart” (the documentary) for unknown reasons.
The Roosevelt screened normal movies during its final years of operation. It was closed on November 11, 1984 with “Gremlins”, “The Hearse”, and “Madman”.
Actual opening date is June 25, 1969 with “Ice Station Zebra”.
