Wow ! Theatre opened on the night of the Tate Manson murders !
Saw “Jaws” here, summer 1975 with my favorite grandmother. Scared the heck out of her ! Early on there was confusion on this site for this theater— glad it got straightened out. Loved the pic posted even though it’s blurry and “microfilmed”. Not the most attractive theater. In summer 1976 I saw “Gumball Rally” and “St. Ives”. I think the Aviation Mall theaters put this out of business.
Hoyts had an entire chain in the US, predominant in New England. Was sold to Regal Cinemas in early 2000’s.
I think this cinema might have been Hotys only cinema outside of Australia and New Zealand?
I guess this theater didn’t last as long as its bigger competitor.
More information: This opened Cinema I & II on August 8th, 1969 and the third screen opened on June 20th, 1975 after it was renamed Route 9 Cinemas on February 2nd, 1979. Five screens on June 29th, 1979 and closed in 2004.

Does anyone have a picture of this theatre? It was on the west side of Route 9 not far from the Glen DI. Six Flags Great Escape is just north by a mile or two.
