General Information:

Update 8-16-2023: According to the Clarkston News the old Clarkston Cinema is being redeveloped for use as a Credit Union. There were no details on whether the structure would be saved and remodeled or demolished to make way for a new building.

From Cinema Treasures:

The Clarkston Cinema opened on June 28, 1972 with Sophia Loren in “Sunflower”. The Clarkston Cinema was the second franchised location of the United General Theaters in the Detroit area following the previous week’s opening of the Milford Cinema. United General had announced 11 locations which would open before year’s end. The automated mini-cinema circuit went out of business but the Clarkston Cinema soldiered on before closing on July 31, 1986 with Walt Disney’s “The Great Mouse Detective”.

I grew up in Clarkson and Waterford. And I can remember when the Clarkson Cinema was G-Rated only. Then it was PG or PG-13 only. It was a cool idea that the owners back then tried to keep it a Family oriented Cinema. But the low ticket price was the coolest thing for me and my friends. And it was convenient to that area without having to drive a good ways. I saw movies throughout the 1980's and early 1990's. Forrest Gump was the last movie I saw there in 1994. I miss the memories- I wish they would open it up again.

I worked there from the early to mid nineties while I was still in school. Great place for a teenager to work. No hauntings to speak of but we did ride a moped around inside and a few bottle rockets were lit off. There may still be a fifth of Jack Daniels under the large popcorn bucket that is on display. To bad its closed, many fond memories!
