50sSNIPES commented about Hoyts Milford 3 on Sep 7, 2025 at 9:01 am

This started life as the Route 495 Cinema City. The Boston Globe didn’t start advertising the theater until December 1974, so I’m very sure greg6363 is 100% correct that it opened in October of that year. It was renamed the Route 495 Cinema Centre in December 1976.

During its final years of operation, it was known as Hoyts Milford 3 before closing on March 2, 1997.

A 1984 aerial view shows the theater appearing to be operational, but unfortunately I cannot confirm if the theater was still operating or not at the time. It was demolished by the end of the decade.
