Roger Katz commented about Bijou Theatre on Dec 22, 2007 at 8:51 pm

I have decided that this theatre will never reopen. Originally it was supposed to be like three years ago, but from what I’ve heard there has been NO renovation work at all done in the inside yet.

The theatre will reopen in January as the Westcott Theater according to recent media reports. It will feature live music, comedies, and plays in addition to movies.

This cinema should just be known as Cinema City as Bow Tie changed the name back (removing the Art @ part) when they bought it.

This theatre was still standing 5 years ago when I photographed it. It appears that it was a Spanish bar. See the photo at http://www.cinematour.com/tour.php?db=us&id=16943

This listing says it has 6 screens. I had thought it had 5.

The building that still stands is the lobby building. The theatre portion is long gone.

Roger Katz commented about Enfield Cinemas 12 on Sep 25, 2007 at 1:02 pm

No, that was not its predecessor. Its predecessor was an 8-plex on Hazard Ave. The former “Enfield Cinema” was the Strand Theatre whichis still sitting abandoned and derelict 30 years later.

Roger Katz commented about Norwich Movieplex on Sep 25, 2007 at 1:01 pm

This was a theatre in a strip mall. It was owned by Hoyts, Welch, and Cinema North at various times I believe. You can see a photo of it prior to its closing at http://www.cinematour.com/tour.php?db=us&id=5847 .

The Milford Pub & Cinema was in the shopping center. It was right in the corner where the two wings form an L.

Will you finally upgrade the seats? I believe the ones in there are still original from when the cinema was first constructed!

Roger Katz commented about Question about film rentals on May 22, 2007 at 2:55 pm

Why would you build a cinema before you even know about how to get product or if you even can?

Roger Katz commented about Bijou Theatre on Apr 28, 2007 at 2:01 am

I’ll believe it when I see it. They’ve been saying for over 2 years that this theatre will open soon, and the date keeps getting pushed back.

It was one screen.

What counts as a shopping center theater? Many old theatres had stores attached.

Roger Katz commented about Do you remember seeing Return of the Jedi in the theater in '83? on Apr 1, 2007 at 2:26 am

Oh yeah, I do remember a couple of things about the movie. I remember loving the Ewoks. I also like dthe scene where they ride those things that look like jetskis in the air.

Roger Katz commented about Do you remember seeing Return of the Jedi in the theater in '83? on Apr 1, 2007 at 2:25 am

Born in 1976, I was too young to see the other Star Wars two movies when they came out. I was just old enough to see Return of the Jedi. I don’t remember anything about the movie itself. What I do remember is that my mother must have brought me opening weekend to the movie without suspecting how popular it would be. We saw it at Cinema City in Hartford, Conn. I remember the line for tickets being all the way down the front of the building, around the side of the building, and then across the parking lot. There must have been hundreds of people in that line. The show we wanted to see sold out long before we got to the front of the line, so we bought tickets for the next showing of the film.

The auditorium was demolished quite a while ago. The lobby building is what still stands housing the businesses.
