cinema 4 rockport is also closed because of Hurricane Harvey.
Showcase International Theatres opened the Brown Cinema I & II on December 22, 1972 with “The Getaway” in Screen 1 (plus “Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory" as a kiddie matinee the following day) and “Fiddler On The Roof” in Screen 2. Screen 1 originally housed 500 seats while Screen 2 housed 300 seats.
Grand opening ad posted.
Google Street View of March 2024 shows the theatre still seemingly vacant and a metal building addition with a vehicle ramp having been erected on the end nearest the street. Possibly for warehouse use.
