Thanksgiving 1973

November 27th, 2021 by ccrouch

In recognition of the holiday weekend, we feature the first Mann Theatres Thanksgiving print advertisement. Fresh off the purchase of National General, the newly rebranded chain was still reflective of its’ National/Fox/Fox West Coast past at the time; dominated by aging single/twin screens and lacking the modern multiplexes that would soon become the company’s hallmark. The ensuing decade would hold some dramatic changes in store for the chain pictured; this advertisement capturing the proverbial “calm before the storm”.
