This is a very rare find, due to this being a customized variant of the Space Tag dater.

The theater has received a $40,000 grant from T-Mobile, meaning that the theater will now screen movies again.

50sSNIPES commented about Bayberry Cinema on Sep 10, 2024 at 9:26 pm

The Bayberry Cinema opened its doors on Christmas Day 1968 with Walt Disney’s “The Horse In The Gray Flannel Suit” and “Winnie The Pooh And The Blustery Day”. It has a capacity of 500 seats and was a single-screener throughout its history.

The Bayberry went through the chains of Carrols Development Corporation, CinemaNational Theatres, USA Cinemas, and finally Loews until its closure on November 29, 1990 with “Child’s Play 2” due to the theater becoming a multiplex victim.

Once operated by CinemaNational Theatres, USA Cinemas, Loews, and finally Hoyts. Hoyts closed the theater in October 1997 when the 10-screener opened nearby.

50sSNIPES commented about Cinema North on Sep 10, 2024 at 8:29 pm

The Cinema North was last operated by the Danlin Corporation, who had been operating since December 1988. During its last few months of operation in late-1989, the management downgraded its format from first-run to second-run due to lack of attendance and falling victim to suburban multiplex theaters. “Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade” became the last big hit for the Cinema North, otherwise the rest afterward had attendance lack.

The Cinema North closed on January 11, 1990 with “Look Who’s Talking”, and had a capacity of 902 seats before closure.

50sSNIPES commented about Ace Theatre on Sep 10, 2024 at 10:01 am

The Brandenburg Theatre opened as early as 1935 although I cannot find its opening date. It was renamed the New Ace Theatre in 1941, and was remodeled several times throughout the 1940s and 1950s.

The Ace Theatre closed as a movie house in September 1965 due to the manager diagnosed with an illness, but reopened later on as a special events house.

50sSNIPES commented about Mosinee Theatre on Sep 7, 2024 at 1:55 pm

The Mosinee Theatre became an X-rated house in 1979, and would later flip back to mainstream first-run movies when new management took over the theater in January 1983. This didn’t last long, and the Mosinee Theatre closed on February 17, 1983 with “Airplane II”.
