Showstar Cinemas 6
Taylorsville, Utah
The Mann 6 Theatres at the Plaza 5400 Shopping Center opened 2 October 1980 with an invitation-only gala attended by Ted Mann and his wife, Miss Rhonda Fleming. The six-screen theater closed in August 2000 as part of Carmike Cinemas’ Chapter 11 bankruptcy, but reopened in April 2001 as part of Consolidated Theaters. The theater’s name changed to Showcase Cinemas 6, then Showstar Cinemas 6, while the chain operator went from Red Carpet Cinemas to CinemaStar Cinemas. The theater closed 5 September 2016, as a new Regal Cinemas was being built across the street.

Article Summary:
The Strand Theater and Hillcrest Hotel are owned by Don Carlow, who
recently installed a new roof and who has plans to restore some of the
structure and open shops. Below the theater and hotel are an old card
room, a Southwestern-themed dance hall and a bar. The theater is used
mostly for storage. It cannot be used for entertainment because it no
longer meets codes. Baron Willison, caretaker of the theater, says it
would cost less to build a new theater on the site than to restore the
old one.
