June 13th, 1986 grand opening ad in photo section.
They also had the FP35 projectors at the time with low price lenses. It did at the time made the movie a little blurry.
Yea those lights were not neon but Tivoli lights. Worked on those nightmare lights all night after closing time. Bad idea.
And here is the Oaks10 website: http://www.oaks10.com/contact.html
cvolosin, it was labeled as a Premiere Theater in 2002 as Chuck mentioned. The owner who oversaw the remodeling efforts at that time passed away a year ago so perhaps there has only now been a change in ownership/organization but the website still lists the Oaks 10 as a “Premiere Theater” with current showtime listings.
This is not a Premiere Cinema… PCC Premiere only operates Plant City 8 and Fashion Square 14 in Orlando. Someone has attached this to the wrong chain.
Remember when this theater opened in 1986. I was a kid then. The facade changed a lot when it became Premiere Theaters (the new owner is a very enthusiastic guy— I met him at their grand re-opening). The original look in ‘86 was very intimate outdoors with a fantastic design for the concession lobby: a round serving area with cashiers available in 360-degrees. Above this was a hexagon shaped ceiling protrusion with classic movie personalities drawn in neon lights: Stan Laurel, Oliver Hardy, James Cagney, Joan Crawford, etc.
It went downhill by the time Premiere took over but it was a great cinema. The new renovation is very nice visually and the seating is better than before.
Personally, it’s sad to see them phase out the old 35mm projectors.
This theater is in competition with Cinemaworld 16, an all stadium theater that opened in May 2002, which will be all-digital by late 2008.
This theater was renovated and became a stadium seating theater on July 18, 2003.
In March 2007 it became completly digital and claimed to be the first all-DOLBY DIGITAL CINEMA theater.
It was owned by cobb when I was a service tech. for them back in the early 90’s and was also the distict office for the cobb florida east coast.
