Commonwealth took over the Campus Twin in November 1984, and later by United Artists in November 1988, and by Crown Theatres in November 1990.
Right after Dickinson Theatres opened the Forum 8 Theatres in June 1992, the Campus Twin dropped its mainstream fare and became an art house.
The Campus Twin closed for the final time on November 30, 1999.
I started working at the Twin in 1973 as concessionist, then moved to usher and finally projectionist. I worked there for five years, all of my friends worked at theatres, Uptown, Missouri and it was a great time to be employed at a theatre. I can tell alot of stories about the campus twin.

After the Forum 8 opened in 1992, the Campus began showing primarily art house movies. While it would show the occasional mainstream film (usually either grade-Z big studio stuff or a late in the run moveovers from the Cinema or Mall), it mostly served as Columbia’s first dedicated art house in 20 years. While I was a Mizzou student, I remember seeing such films as Trainspotting, Hamlet, Kids, Dead Man Walking, and Big Night there.
The Campus shut down in November 1998, the same weekend that the Stadium 14 opened. The space is now a ski shop. The center wall that divided the two auditoriums remains.
