Cinema 20 opened on June 22, 1971 and operated by the Cinecom chain. The theatre closed around July 1973 when Cinecom were declared bankrupt. It was closed for several months and then was reopened by an independent operator who operated it for several years. Sometime in the 1980’s, another operator took it over and has operated it ever since. It is a wonderful place to see a film. The prices for almost first run films is only $3. The theatre was quite successful, but closed in February 2019.

Boxoffice of June 28, 1971 said that the formal opening ceremony for Cinecom’s new Cinema 20 in Painesville had taken place on June 22, with regular public shows commencing the following day. It was the 126th location for the rapidly growing Cinecom chain, which had an additional 21 locations under construction. The chain must have expanded too rapidly, as in January of 1973 it declared bankruptcy, and the last of its theaters were shut down by a court order in July that year.
Cinema 20 permanently closed in February 2019.
