Here's my old hometown theater, the RKO Century Triplex on Rt. 17 South in Paramus, New Jersey. Built in the mid 1960s, closed in the early 00s and eventually demolished to make room for a Chili's or Olive Garden restaurant (I forget which).
Paramus had several other movie theaters, but this was the one I frequented most often growing up. I saw the original "Star Wars" here, Disney's "The Black Hole," "RoboCop," at least two "Friday The 13ths," "Death Wish 4," "Predator," "Demolition Man," and countless others.
I didn't learn till fairly recently that the theater also hosted rock concerts for a brief time in the early 70s. Most famously, Black Sabbath (!) played there on one of their first U.S. tours in 1971. Unfortunately, I was not in attendance due to being an infant at the time.
