Please update, became a twin on May 24, 1972, triplex on June 27, 1980 and a quad on June 11, 1982. Theatre closed on October 24, 1996 No Grand Opening ads for Triplex and Quad
@rivest266 When they went to six on December 19, 1986, 2 of the 4 additional screens were open, but the work wasn’t completed until May 22, 1987. The official Grand Opening as 8 screens wasn’t until end of the year, because Loews had to finish the interior lobby construction that they inherited from RKO Century expansion. The 4 additional was a RKO Century Project, prior to the merger. A Grand Opening ad of 8 is already in the photos section.
I posted the grand opening for 8 screens when Loews finish the work. When it opened as 8, their was construction in the lobby and Loews took over the project. It never was six prior, On june 6, 1986 the balcony cut split and half and the other 4 screens where add on, 2 upper and 2 lower. A few years ago, AMC redesign the complex built escalators to get to all upper theatres.
Also, so happy to see the Newsdays on newspapers.com. I clip a alot from proquest and their site is not user friendly.
