The Mohawk Theatre did receive a short closure during the mid-1980s. After closing on May 8, 1986 with “F/X”, the Mohawk sat abandoned for a whole year until Edward B. “Rocco” Ellis purchased the Mohawk for $130,000 in March 1987 following remodeling that took place throughout that year and into the following year before reopening on November 18, 1988 with a double feature of “Who Framed Roger Rabbit” and “Cocktail”.

This didn’t last long. See my other comment above.
