The nearby Waltham Flick closed two years later on September 18, 1988, leaving Waltham without a movie theater until the 1998 launch of the Embassy Performing Arts Center.
This actually opened as Jerry Lewis Cinema in January 1973, and was renamed the Brockton East Twin Cinema a few months later because of JLC’s bankruptcy. Its most likely that this is the last JLC to open in the Boston area.
