Alexander R. Boyd built the Boyd Theatre in 1928. The Stanley Warner company bought the theater after completion. In 1971, the Boyd was sold to the Sameric Corporation, which renamed the theater the "Sam Eric." In the 1980's, the Sameric Corporation added three smaller auditoriums to land west of the theater. In 1988, the Sameric Corporation sold their theaters to the United Artists Circuit. In 1998, the Goldenberg Group of Blue Bell purchased the Boyd from United Artists.
