The Colonial Park 4 Cinemas opened in 1986 as a result of a trade off with Sameric Corporation with Sameric giving up its lease on the free standing former Trans-Lux Theatre out in the rear parking lot of the Colonial Park Mall in exchange for the 4 auditoriums jammed into one corner inside the mall. The former Trans Lux was then torn down for what was then a newly constructed Boscov’s store which still exists today.

Sameric - which never believed in maintenance - sold out to United Artists which continued Sameric’s former non-maintence policies. The four auditoriums - which were drab to begin with- were not helped by years of neglect.

When UA gave up the lease in the early 2000s it was taken over as second run by Fun Time Cinemas run by Bruce Fitzsimmons widow.
