I worked at this theatre from 1997 until 2010. One of the best jobs I ever had. Small, home-town theatre, first-run films. Personally, I still prefer seeing a movie in a multiplex like this than in a major chain that has been refurbed to include the recliners and all that jazz. Not beautiful, not luxurious – just a great theatre to see a movie and enjoy yourself.
This started life as a twin known as the Mountain Valley Mall Cinemas I & II in the 1970s although I cannot find its grand opening date yet. The theater became a quad when two more screens were added in July 1984.

North Conway, NH: Mountain Valley Mall Cinema 7 Closed [Oct 23, 2024]
This reopened as the BarnZ’s North Conway Cinemas on November 15th, 2025.
Please update, theatre opened as the BarnZ’s North Conway Cinema CONWAY — A company called BarnZ’s has acquired the Mountain Valley Mall Cinema 7 located in the shopping center at 32 Mountain Valley Blvd., North Conway, with plans to open in early November.
Under its previous owners, Your Neighborhood Theatre/Belmont Capital of Boston, the Mountain Valley Mall Cinema closed during the pandemic of 2020. It reopened in May 2021 and then remained open until October 2024, when it shut its doors for the last time.
“We are so excited to be able to bring the magic of movies back to North Conway,” BarnZ’s Assistant Operations Manager Jon Barnes told the Sun on Wednesday. The multi-theater company announced its plans on Tuesday on Instagram and Facebook regarding its acquisition of the seven screens at the Mountain Valley Mall.
In the statement, BarnZ’s announced, “The Rumors are True — Barnz’s is Coming to North Conway!”
The statement continued: “Mountain Valley Cinema holds a special place in North Conway’s story. We’re honored to carry that legacy forward while giving you a refreshed, cozy spot for date nights, rainy-day escapes or just a random Tuesday night. We’ve got you covered with fresh popcorn, big screens, in a clean and friendly environment — sounds like the classic BarnZ’s experience.”
The statement added that they are seeking applicants for employment.
Barnz’s also operates theaters in Meredith, Lincoln and Barrington.
Under previous owners, Your Neighborhood Theatre/Belmont Capital of Boston, the cinema closed during the pandemic in March 2020 and reopened in July that year with guidelines that all theaters followed. It closed down in late October that year but reopened in May 2021 and remained open until October 2024.
In addition to the Mountain Valley Cinema 7, Your Neighborhood Theatre/Belmont Capital Group operated 11 theaters and two drive-ins throughout New England, including two other facilities in New Hampshire (Claremont Cinema 6 in Claremont and Gilford Cinema 8 in Gilford).
After Mountain Valley Mall Cinema 7 closed, moviegoers have had to travel to Bridgton, Maine, or Littleton to view new films.
The Majestic Theatre in Conway Village, operated by Mountain Top Music, has a big screen that has been showing occasional films such as this Saturday’s “Nosteratu” and “Stop Making Sense” on Sunday, Oct. 12.
