Townsville Theaters

Background: This company was started in 1964. Today, it is owned by Time Warner's Warner Amusements (which was created in 1966 and includes this chain, Spotlight Cinemas and Merrie Melody Theater Corp.) and operates theaters in 35 UnitedStates. The mascots of this chain (used from 1964 to June 7, 1974 and from March 1991 to present) are the same girls used in P&P Features' logos and onThe Powerpuff Girls. The Townsville Theaters mascots were replaced by the US Bicentennial logo from June 8, 1974 to December 31, 1976 and by the USA flag symbol from January 1, 1977 until March 19, 1991. Also, in 1975, Townsville Theaters filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy but did not have to close any locations. They recovered later that year.

Note: From 1975 to 1976, Townsville Theaters did not use their own policy trailers, instead using the Warner Amusements "Bicentennial" trailer.
