The Essex Theater in 1955 showing "Cattle Queen of Montana".
The Essex Theater in 1985 showing "Orgy American Style".
The Essex Theater was a movie theater that was located in the Courthouse Square of Hill Valley. This theater had been a part of Hill Valley since the late 1880's. The recognizable framework of the building was under construction in 1885 when Mad Dog Tannen and his gang dragged Marty through some lumber leaning against the front of the building.
At some time in the early 20th century, the interior would have been renovated from a live theater to a movie house. On November 5th, 1955, the air conditioned Essex theater was showing "Cattle Queen of Montana" starring Barbara Stanwyck and Ronald Reagan.
By 1985, the Essex had been turned into an adult movie house that was open 24 hours a day. This was evident on the sign as it showed the current movie as "Orgy American Style" and on the opposite side showed 'RATED XXX'.
By 2015, it was again renovated as the Holomax Theater to show holographic movies such as Jaws 19 directed by Max Spielberg. A holographic projector outside the theater could make three-dimensional images (such as a shark) appear from behind the marquee to the street in front of the theater.
