The Towne Theatre closed for the final time on May 2, 1989 with “Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure” and “Chances Are” after an electrical fire destroyed both the stage and the first 20 rows of seats. Nobody was in the theater at the time.

Loews operated the Coral Springs Mall 6 until 1988 when it was taken over by Muvico. Regal took the theater over in 1995, and lasted until Regal closed the Coral Springs Mall 6 on January 5, 1999.

The building was demolished either in 2015 and 2016. However, it was completely unknown if the Cinema 1 & 2 closed around the same time as the opening of the nearby six-screen Rialto.

The Clearwater Theatre most likely closed during the latter half of the 1910s despite not a lot of information about it.

Its most likely that the State Theatre did operate as a special events house during its final years of operation.

I cannot find any information on why the Super Skyway first closed on October 20, 1956, almost a decade before its reopening on June 19, 1965. However, I can confirm is that right after its final closure on September 21, 1977, the Super Skyway Drive-In continued as both a special events area and a haunted house.

50sSNIPES commented about Moose Theatre on Jul 23, 2025 at 3:30 pm

Hmm… I am really confused. Because newspaper showtimes said that it had words reading “(formerly the Moose Theatre)” below the Skinni Mini name.

  • And by the way, the Christmas Eve 1948 remodel reopened with “Two Guys From Texas”, not Four.

Actually, there is only one Moose Theatre. It was not destroyed, but very badly damaged in a fire on November 5, 1948, with most of the damage coming from the stage, screen, and stage furnishings as well as the false ceiling. Parts of the ceiling collapsed into the stage, estimating the total cost of $20,000 in damages. According to some residents, they replied that it was a type of explosion, where a loud boom was heard exactly 15 minutes after the last moviegoers have left for the night, and witnessing flames shooting up 30ft in the air. The fire injured two firefighters while trying to fight the blaze. Most of the theater building survived the fire though.

The Moose Theatre reopened on Christmas Eve 1948 after major remodeling to the auditorium, reopening with Dennis Morgan in “Two Guys From Texas” (unknown if extras added). The Moose Theatre was renamed the Skinni Mini Cinema in early-1977, and I don’t know who the hell came up with the “Skinni Mini” name. I first thought it came from “Batfink”.
