So the original 4-plex was inside the mall? From the google imagery the newer building outside the mall looks like it has a 4-plex with a modern GCC wrapped around it.
I don’t think this theater was demolished. I drove past the address today and the building layout is consistent with those shown on HistoricAerials.com
Why can’t a multiplex be a treasure? You don’t think that countless numbers of people think fondly of this theater and all the different experiences they’ve had there? If the theater closed where you saw your favorite movies, perhaps had your first date, spent time with your family, etc. – does the fact that it’s a multiplex make it any less memorable?
We can wait until tomorrow to find out for sure, but the theater has showtimes for FRI 1/27 through the 7pm set, suggesting it will close after business then.
The article referenced above states the theatre “will be renamed “The Capitol Theatre” in honor of the original Capitol Theatre, which was opened in Niagara Falls in 1926.”
I would be shocked if this was ever operated by AMC Theatres. Was always operated by regional independents as far as I’m aware. Would be interested in seeing what makes you think it was an AMC.
A photo on page 4 of the 3/22/1981 edition of the Zanesville Times Recorder shows a picture of the cinema located inside the mall, leading me to think that the Cinema 10 was a new-build.
My understanding is that the theater was in the NE corner of that particular strip. Where the map shows “Cue D’s” and the street view shows “KTV Restaurant”
They’re in the Film-Tech photo warehouse.
Closed after business on 3/16/2023.

I’m going out on a limb to say that if UA had the grand opening of this theater, then Commonwealth never operated it.

This is now operated by VIP Cinemas.

Still not a picture of the Showplace 3.
This location never had an IMAX or RPX screen, that was most likely being confused with the Regal-built Hacienda Crossings 20 in nearby Dublin, CA
Website shows that its closed as of 9/15
Prior to Regal Cinemas this was operated by National Theatre Corporation.
Phoenix Theatres of Michigan has signed a long term lease to reopen and operate this theater. Article here
