The Plaza Cinema most likely closed on November 21, 1956 with “A Kid From Two Farthings” and “Forever My Heart”. Its cause of closure wasn’t revealed until mid-January 1957 when the staff told the South Wales Argus that it was due to the “television popularity and estate issues”, meaning that the Plaza became a television victim.
Actual closing date is September 25, 1988 with “War” and “Gates Of Hell” in Screen 1, “A Fish Called Wanda” and “Rambo III” in Screen 2, and “Cocktail” and “Good Morning Vietnam” in Screen 3.
Closed as a movie theater on December 3, 1960 with “Duel At Silver Creek” and “Life In Emergency Ward 10”, but reopened as a performing arts house afterward.
The Ozark Drive-In opened its gates on April 3, 1953 with Yvonne DeCarlo in “Frontier Gal” along with an unnamed cartoon and a fireworks show after its first show, featuring 230 cars and RCA sound. It was still open in the mid-1980s.
The Monett Drive-In is VERY short-lived. It opened in July 1952, but received a long closure following a fire that destroyed the projection room on June 3, 1953 during a showing of Richard Conte in “The Fighter”. It reopened the following year on May 7, 1954, and closed in 1955.
ABC Southeastern Theatres last operated the Paramount until its April 25, 1976 closure as a movie house with John Daniels in “Black Shampoo” and Fred Williamson in “Boss N*****” (I think its best to censor the second title).
Opened with Walt Disney’s “The Boatniks” along with an Ultravision demonstration of “Skies Over Holland”. It was twinned on December 23, 1977 and closed by Carmike on April 2, 1987 with “Outrageous Fortune” in Screen 1 and “Angel Heart” in Screen 2.
Correction: This was opened by ABC Southeastern Theatres, not ABC Florida State Theatres.
