Opened on May 16, 1979.
I lived in Hoboken for several years, and saw quite a few movies here, including Spider-Man 2, Tospy-Turvy, Being John Malkovich, and X-Men 2. The theater’s programming was interesting, as they would often divide the two screens between art films in one, and blockbuster films in the other. It was a nice change of pace from specializing only in one of those two types of films. If I remember correctly, Hudson Street ran Rocky Horror on Fridays at midnight for many years, though I never attended it.
My actor cousin Bob Greene, born in Hoboken, played a cop in the 1995 movie “Copycat”, starring Sigourney Weaver and Holly Hunter. A lot of our family members got together to see his movie at the Hoboken Twin on its first night. It was the closest I ever got to attending an opening night premiere.
Thanks for the new pic lost memory. I have many happy memories of the old theater when my grandpa owned it but it still looks so similar in your 2002 pic :)
The Hoboken Twin located on Hudson Street was owned by my family Orjelick-Theaters. At its peak my grandfather owned 15 movie theatres. Many closed prior to when I was born in 1976. They were small family theaters that usually had 1-2 screens. Many of theaters included spanish films at one time. In an article I found about the Orjelick-Theatres dated June 11, 1987 it stated, “One by one, those theatres went under unable to survive the advent of the suburban multi-screen franchise cinema…By the 1980’s the Orjelick-Theatres had dwindled down to three properties to include the Art Theatre in the Bronx, the New Delancy in Manhattan and the Hoboken Twin in NJ.” The only other theater I remember that my family had owned was called the Coliseum Theater and was located in NY (52nd St & 4th Ave). Best :)
A new theater will open next week bringing moviegoing back to Hoboken.
