The majority of the Eric Theatres did not have a marquee on the building, but instead had the streetside marquee that was on a signpost. This location, as well as the Eric MacDade Mall Theatre, the ERic Stratford Theatre, as well as the AMC 309 Cinema 9 Theatre, are good examples.

When this theatre became a 4-plex, Screens #3 & 4 were built behind the original building. The original building was split int a twin, and the other 2 screens were to the left of Screens #1 & 2.

Judging by the looks of the cover photo, this was probably a large single screen at one time that was cut up into 4.

Here was another theater without a marquee. Not even a poster light box. Maybe that’s why this theater failed, no one knew what was playing. When did the Eric 4 Feasterville open? How many seats? Who was the architect? What was the style? When did it close? Five reviews and not a clue! Doesn’t anyone have any information on the Eric 4 Feasterville?

The theatre, as well as part of the shopping center, was torn down for the Genuardi’s/Giant [PA] store.

This theatre should be listed as Closed/Demolished, since there is a Giant [PA] (former Genuardi’s) located there.

I worked at the Eric Feasterville from 1985-1987. It was the best high school job you could have. Free movies, free popcorn, and we did our fair share of partying in there. All the people that worked there were all friends so we basically hung out there whether we were working or not. We a lot of classic 80’s movies such as Beverly Hills Cop, Rambo II, Running Scared, Teen Wolf, St. ELmo’s Fire, and About Last Night. We used to let a lot of people in for free, especially if you gave us beer.

I am partial to 70s movies, having grown up in that era. Hold the jokes, please. I was looking at an ad from the Bucks County Courier Times dated 2/19/78. You tell me if anyone has a better choice of films nowadays:

Eric Feasterville and Eric Twin Lawrenceville: “Close Encounters”

Pennsbury Theater (Morrisville): “Taxi Driver”

Lincoln (Roosevelt Blvd at City Line): “Black Sunday”, “Looking for Mr. Goodbar” and “Marathon Man”

Eric Playhouse (Princeton) and Eric Fairless Hills: “High Anxiety”

Eric Garden (Princeton) and Eric Twin Penn Jersey: “Coma”

Budco Prince (Trenton): “Julia” with Vanessa Redgrave

Eric Twin Independence Mall (Trenton): “Saturday Night Fever”

Newtown: “Smoky and the Bandit” (OK, not a classic, but a good redneck film)

Premiere Twin (Neshaminy Mall): “Goodbye Girl” and “Harold Robbins' The Betsy”, with Lawrence Olivier (a great “bad” film).
