Opened with “The Valachi Papers” in Screen 1 and “Cabaret” in Screen 2. It was closed on September 27, 1987 with “Hamburger Hill” in Screen 1 and the double feature of “Adventures Of Babysitting” and “Robocop” in Screen 2, and the reason of closure is because of losing attendance because of the nearby Forestville Theaters which USA Cinemas opened it three months prior.
