The Riverside Cinema Company opened the Riverside Twin Theater in Austin Texas in June of 1973, primarily intended on serving the college crowds in the East Riverside area. From the day it opened, it had troubles in the form of repeated vandalism and graffiti. It didn't help that a projectionists union strike was happening when it opened, making it a prime location for striking workers.
In April if 1976, the Riverside Twin became the second theater in the US to show The Rocky Horror Picture Show as a ongoing, Midnight movie.
