It was definitely converted to a twin sometime in the 90’s. Im going to have to say around 92ish? It was after I graduated from high school and that was in 90. The reason I remember it is because me and my GF at the time used to go there for the cheap 2.00 2nd run movies and I used to tell her that the theater used to have the biggest screen in S. Florida before they converted it to a twin. Im going to have to assume that the City of Hollywood owns it. Maybe if I go to the CoH Art and Culture center which is right across the street.

I’ve been trying to find out who owns the building to see if I can possibly be granted access to take some pictures of the inside for historical purposes. I’ve looked on the Broward County Property Appraisers website but it seems there is no record of any ownership.

From the research Ive done about the Hollywood Cinema it was first opened back around 1926. I also remember them having the largest screen in South Florida before they switched it over to a 2 theater cinema in the 90’s
