Cloverleaf Mall Cinemas (#2)

Also uploaded the David Thauberger of Regina, SK artwork in the lobby. What happened with it?

In August 1991 there was a shootout inside the lobby of the theater between two groups that got into a dispute during a showing of the movie “Mobsters.” With the much safer Chesterfield Towne Center mall theater not far away, most patrons abandoned the Cloverleaf. In 1996 there was an extensively reported double homicide at another store in the mall that further damaged the facility’s reputation. In its last years the lightly attended 8-plex operated with one manager and one employee on duty at a time, covering ticketing, concessions, and projection.
