jdey is correct—the Forum 8 was not built on top of the Forum, as it was not a free-standing building. Both existed simultaneously for a while, in fact.
My dad was the manager of the Forum in the early 80s, and I’ve got a slew of posters from those rather halcyon days of cinema, as does he, of course.
Some were actually relatively (or intensely) obscure, distributor-wise—The Groove Tube, A Boy and His Dog, The Nine Lives of Fritz the Cat, and so on. But of course plenty were the expected fare, as evinced by my Empire Strikes Back and Raiders of the Lost Ark posters.
