Located in the Cinnaminson Mall, this originally opened May 23, 1973 as a twin theatre with Jan-Michael-Vincent in “The World’s Greatest Athlete” & Michal Bat-Adam in “I Love You Rosa”. It was built by National-Mini Theatres to compete with the twinning of older theatres in the 1970’s. Taken over by Music Makers chain it was last operated by Loews, who closed it on August 23, 1990 with Bill Cosby in “Ghost Dad” & Arnold Schwarzenegger in “Total Recall”. The theatre was demolished along with the rest of the mall in October 2005.

Originally operated by the Music Makers chain, later an independent dollar theater that lasted into the ‘90s I think. The Cinnaminson Mall was a flop that wound up with most of its space occupied by a technical school; the theater was just about the only successful “retail” business there aside from the anchor stores (Woolco, later Caldor). The whole complex is expected to be demolished soon, if it isn’t gone already.
Here’s a photo I found online:

Saw The Cable Guy here, and there were mounds of trash piled up in front of the screen. Ick.
But back in the day I took in Dirty Dancing, Star Trek IV, Critters II, Karate Kid II..bud used to mention having a blast at Ski Patrol there.
What kind of Theatre would have piles of trash piled up in front of the Screen.Hard to believe that one.Maybe a few popcorn boxes?
This opened on May 23rd, 1973. Grand opening ad in photo section.
Regarding Rick B’s 2006 comment: Music Makers wasn’t the original owner. MM bought this theatre along with one named the Triangle and one or two others in that area such as the East Windsor. This was around 1976 or so. I worked for the chain then and remember the acquisition/expansion. They were pretty far-flung from where many of the MM screens were…Monmouth and Ocean counties.
