I cannot find as much information about this one, but all I know is that Manchester Cinema Theatre in the Manchester Shopping Center first opened its doors as a 250-seat single-screener on September 7, 1966 with Steve McQueen in “Nevada Smith”. It was twinned around February 1984.
The actual original closing date is January 25, 1944 with Lucille Ball in “Best Foot Forward” and Frankie Albertson in “Underground Agent” along with a few unnamed shorts. There is also a special “Victory Rose Dinnerware Days” right after screening.
Unlike most multi-screen drive-ins, all four screens closed on separate dates. The first screen closed on February 18, 1985, while the second screen closed on July 1, 1985.
The final remaining two screens closed for the final time on July 21, 1985 with “Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome” and “Purple Rain” in Screen 1 and “Back To The Future” and “The Last Starfighter” in Screen 2.
The Plaza Twin Theater closed for the final time on November 10, 1988 with “Moon Over Parador” in Screen 1 and “Moonstruck” in Screen 2. The theater did reopen the following month as a live performance house under the name “Plaza Live Theatre”.

Muvico last operated the theater until its closure on September 17, 1998 when the chain launched their nearby 18-screener.
