The General Cinema I, II, III in the Joliet Mall appears to have opened October 13, 1979 about the time that the Bergner-Weise store opened just after the one-year anniversary of the Mall. Not liking what they saw, GCC bailed at the ten-year leasing point. Super Saver Cinema took on the location converting it to a sub-run discount house. It closed in 2007 just shy of completing a 30-year lease.
The mall developer updated the shopping center including carving out a new spot for a 14-screen Cinemark Louis Joliet Mall that encompassed the former spot once held by the General Cinema cinema.
The Louis Joliet Cinema actually opened during the same year the Louis Joliet Mall opened in 1978 according to some snippets from the Chicago Tribune.
