This venue was cut in two losing the “Cinerama” namesake; it became the Westbury Twin Cinemas 1 & 2 on December 22, 1976 retaining that name until closure in 1983.
Grand opening ad posted.
Just added ads and pictures of the Huntsville Westbury Cinerama theatre to https://incinerama.com/westbury.htm . Please do not copy them to this web site.
Added picture taken of the building after the tornado of 1989.
When it opened, this was Huntsville’s best theatre. It was built to the same plan as Martin’s Georgia Cinerama in Atlanta, with 686 seats. Both of those theatres were disasterously twinned down the middle. Each seat was aligned toward the front corner of the dividing wall. It was not unusual to come out of a movie with a pain in your neck. A couple of months after this opened, Martin closed the Center theatre on Triana Blvd.
This theatre was equipped with a full Norelco 70/35mm projection equipment.
