Stott Cinema

Description

The cinema still holds many of the rigid and plain qualities of a warehouse, despite the many renovations over the decades. The interior of the building has several concession stands and old movie posters, now wrinkled and discolored over time. There are three floors. The main floor is the lobby, the floor above has three theaters and the floor below has three theaters, including a small game arcade across from the concession stand.

Stott Cinema was, at a time, the HQ of The British Relief Force (as well as the factory above it and the hospital) in their efforts to stabilize the turmoil in Fort Perryn.

It later became home to a small group of survivors who called themselves Team Monkey.

History

Stott Cinema is a movie theater located among Whittenside's industrial district. The building used to be a warehouse in the early 20th century but was renovated in 1945 and turned into cinema in an attempt to attract visitors from the Phelips Museum next door. The owner of the cinema, a successful Scottish businessman by the name of Andrew Stott, sold the cinema after business began to dwindle. It was renovated again in 1954 by its new owner Gerard Jackson, who decided not to change the name of the cinema after Andrew Stott commited suicide in 1953. The Stott Cinema reopened in 1955 with the premiere of the movie, "The Return of the Chimps!". It has since been remembered as the cinema where 'those poorly trained chimpanzees flung their feces at the audience'.

Barricade Policy
