- Jul 16, 2008 — Former Harper Woods movie theater gets new life
Located across from Eastland Mall this was convenient for people going to the mall to go across the street and see a movie. It is closed as of 2007.

I saw many, many movies here as a young man, and I’m almost positive that this was the theater that I saw the original Star Wars at in May, 1977. Sad to see that it is gone.
Opened on May 25, 1973 as the Beacon East I & II with “Man of La Mancha” in Screen 1 and “Soylent Green” in Screen 2. A third screen was added in December 1984 and a fourth was added during the 1990s. Showcase Cinemas was one of its operators.
Last operated by National Amusements, closed on September 10, 2006.
Current use is as a community college center.
