Actually, here’s a correction. When the Cosmo was given the streamline modern makeover in January 1948, the refresh only lasted two days and not a whole month. The Cosmo briefly closed for two days on January 14, 1948, because of it, and reopened two days later on January 16. The Cosmo was twinned on Thanksgiving Day 1977, renovated in February 2001, and a third screen added by the late-2000s.

Built on the site of an airfield that was used by the United States Military after World War II, the Yokohama Meigaza launched on Christmas Day 1952 as a Japanese film house. The Yokohama Meigaza closed in 1991 for major renovation, which led the original auditorium to be split into two. On December 21, 1991, the Yokohama Meigaza reopened as the Cinema Jack & Betty, a 252-seat twin by Chuo Kogyo screening foreign films on the 114-seat Jack screen and Japanese films on the 138-seat Betty screen, who also operated the next-door Yokohama Nichigeki.
The Cinema Jack & Betty was also located across the street from another movie theater that had a history, called the Yokohama Nichigeki, which will have its own Cinema Treasures page.
The Center Cinema replaced the downtown Boice Theatre that got destroyed by a fire in 1973. It opened that same year as a twin by Vore Cinemas. It was later operated by Kerasotes, and its closing date remains unknown.
