The Union Deposit Twin Cinemas opened on the pad of the Union Deposit Mall on November 8, 1972 with “The Poseidon Adventure”. In the late-1970’s it was acquired by the Sameric Corporation of Philadelphia.
At some point in time the name of the shopping center was changed from the Union Deposit Mall to the Pointe Shopping Center. In November 1997 the theatre became the Harrisburg Cinema Grill and still later a discount second run operation. It closed on March 31, 2001. Now converted to a Panera Bread.
