The Showplace Cinemas first opened its doors as a twin by Powell Cinemas Corporation/Absher Enterprises on October 21, 1981, the same day the entire Somerset Mall opened its doors to the public. It was first managed by Norma Leveridge.
Two more screens were added in the late 1980s or early 1990s bringing a total of four screens, and in 1996, five more screens were added bringing a total to nine screens. However, it was unclear why one of the nine screens was converted though in the 2010s.
UPDATE: Right when the Showplace Cinemas (not Showplace Cinema) reopened in 2017 until closing in 2020, the Showplace went into an alternate name of “Showplace Family Cinemas” by advertisements, but the Showplace Cinemas name was still used primarily.
The Showplace Cinemas opened its doors in 1981.
The theater closed its doors in late 2013 and left it vacant until the middle of 2017, when the theater reopened again. This didn’t last long until the pandemic struck, and closed its doors again in 2020. But this time, the theater became vacant once again.
