The Cine Enfield 1 & 2 opened its doors by SBC on February 18, 1972 with Walt Disney’s “Song Of The South” in Screen 1 and “John Wayne And The Cowboys” in Screen 2. It originally opened as a twin housing 660 seats (with 330 seats in each auditorium) and 32ft concave screens installed in both auditoriums.

Two more screens were added in 1978 bringing a total to four screens. At the time, it was renamed the Cine Enfield 1-2-3-4. In December 1981, another two more screens were added bringing a total to six screens, and was renamed the Cine Enfield 6. Finally on June 21, 1985, another two more screens were added bringing a total to eight screens, and was renamed the Cine Enfield 8.
