Sanibel, FL: Closed Since March 2020, Island Cinema to be Demolished [Jun 21, 2021]
Opened March 24, 1972.
This cinema was initially part of the Jerry Lewis Cinema chain and opened in 1972.
The Island Cinema opened as single screen during the early 1980s and was later converted to a twin by splitting the auditorium down the center. The architectural design is functional and non-descript. The facility is very clean and comfortable with the closest completion 14 miles away on the mainland. Photos from December 2010: 1, 2

60 seats and big screen tv. Sounds more like the living room experience.
Sounds like a comfortable theatre to see movies.
