The Layton Hills Starship Theatres opened its doors with four screens on December 19, 1980, featuring two 440-seat screens and two 275-seat screens, bringing a total to 1,430 seats. The two 440-seat larger auditoriums features surround sound using 15 speakers. During its opening, the corporate mascot of Consolidated Theatres at the time, a robot resembling R2-D2 that Consolidated CEO Randy Miller called it “an amazing piece of machinery” was presented, and a contest to name the robot was held as well, with the winner receives a then-new 1981 Plymouth Reliant or Dodge Aries.
It was first operated by Consolidated Theatres, but was taken over by Cinemark in April 1985 and was renamed the Movies 4. Two more screens were added in July 1986, and was renamed the Movies 6. The Movies 6 closed in August 1996.
I remember this theater as the Starship Theater. Is that right? I remember it had small and cramped theaters. I also remember it had several pinball machines in the back. It was open at least until late 1993, as I saw the first screening of Robocop 3 there.
