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.
