Loews opened the Merrillville 10 in the summer of 1992. It became the first theatre in the area to give direct competition to General Cinema’s (now AMC) Southlake Cinema located directly across US 30. At first the theatre was nice and clean but as with what seems to be the case with Loews theatres the theatre became rundown within a few years and Loews appeared to stop caring about putting any money into the place. One Saturday visit I had a few years back was one of the worst theatre visits I ever had. For some reason only one concession person was on duty that afternoon so the wait to get popcorn was ridiculously long. I finally gave up after 20 minutes as my movie was starting. A short while later I went out again and the line was no shorter. Also, the crowd was loud and belligerent and never once did an usher make an appearance in the auditorium even after complaints. The marquee, which sits on US 30 for thousands to see on a daily basis, either always has letters missing from the titles or are mis-spelled. Just a month or so back Kerasotes bought it from Loews so perhaps they will clean the place up and make it suitable for attendance again.
