South Burlington, VT: Palace 9 Closed [Nov 10, 2023]
Also uploaded the May 19th, 2005 grand opening as Palace 9
Merrill sold his theatres to Hoyt’s in 1994 and bought them back later.
January 3rd, 1992 grand opening ad in the photo section. It opened on the 10th.
Here in New England Hoyt’s cinemas only became a name change to Regal Cinemas. All Hoyt’s cinemas barring a few that were sold to Entertainment and Neighborhood cinemas switched to Regal which I believe is just another entity of Hoyt’s so this cinema probably operated under both names at one time. Very similar as when Sack became USA and then was taken over by Lowes and when AMC became Lowes and some AMCS became Regal.
It should also be noted that the theater started showing Met Opera (Live in HD) seasons since 2008 – and continues to show unique programming through through the same agreement (Concerts, Documentaries with live discussions, etc). Additionally the theater has played host to the yearly Vermont International Film Festival since 2009.
To nix a few ‘?’ from your list – the theater was previously operated by Hoyts Cinema Corporation, and I believe North East Cinemas. Don’t think Regal was ever in there. It’s currently operated by HLB Entertainment.
It was also known as ‘Cinema 9’ for a while.

Need more info and photos.
Mike, if I could find out all this info from Manteno, Illinois, why didn’t you? It would save CT a lot of work.
Oh, The BOXOFFICE article did have pictures of the new Merrill’s 9 Cinemas.
