Movies seen here include “Making Love”,“Richard Pryor:Live On The Sunset Strip” and a very weird double feature of “Lovesick”(Dudley Moore/Elizabeth McGovern rom com)&“Treasure Of The Four Crowns”(part of the ‘80s wave of 3D films.) Theatre employees handed out the 3D glasses to the audience before the movie began. And no stupid “surcharge” either.
I goofed. It’s The Premiere Renaissance 20 at Greenspoint Mall since the mall,itself,is still open.
It’s an indoor/outdoor shopping center.
The original indoor five screen theatre opened when the mall did in 1976 and began my love of all things General Cinema,having lived there from May 1977 to March 1979. It closed about a year before AMC acquired GCC.
GCC never left the west coast. They went bankrupt and started closing theatres. Those that didn’t close became part of the AMC chain when they bought GCC.
Although,i’m liking the design,everytime i go to a new page….this pops up:“This site needs a different Google Maps API key. A new one can be found at..” then it gives an address.
Is there something you can do? I can email you the addy offlist,if you prefer.
In case no one has noticed,the LA Times is listing it as “The Chinese Theatre & Chinese 6 Theatres” with only nighttime shows for both venues shown. Truly sad,indeed.
In an October 1968 issue of Box Office Magazine,it was noted that French director Claude LeLouch’s classic,“A Man and A Woman”,had just begun it’s third year playing at this thatre. It originally opened at The Crest,a few blocks away.
Went here a few times. Not a bad little place.

This will reopen next year as Regal San Bernardino Theatre Square 14 with RPX.

The address should read 16741 Valley Blvd Fontana,CA 92335. There is a 24 Hour Fitness & a Pancho Villa restaurant close by.
You can see the theatre from the 10 freeway.
Having done the math(40,546sq. ft.x$30.00),the asking price is $1,216,380.
I thought this had always been a Krikorian theatre. I don’t recall this as a Regal.
I thought “Popeye” was one of the opening movies here in late 1980.
I love this theatre! I definitely prefer it over the Fox triplex in Banning.
Hmmmmm,feel free to correct me but wasn’t the SRO Montclair Triplex(California)engagement in 70mm? I could have sworn that’s how i saw it.

“Tree of Life” at The Arclight Hollywod,The Dome @ Arclight and The Landmark.

oops,clearly,i meant theatre,not thatre.

This place ran alot of second/third runs triple features in its last 15+ years
Congrats,gents,on 10 years. Here’s to ten more. Thanks for all your hard work in putting such an ambitious site together.
In January 2011,Regal will sign a deal to take over the theatre.
It will lose six of the twenty screens to make way for other uses such as restaurants,etc.
It’s actually called CASE 39,not 49. I hope they get LET ME IN.
Theatre 9,which seemed to be the largest of the 20 auds,had wheelchair seating in the back which was accessible via elevator.
Let’s pray Carmike doesn’t commit the cardinal sin of ‘plexing the place sometime down the road.
I believe “The Gambler”,starring James Caan,played here in 1974. Or was it in the mall? I know i saw it in one of the two.
nope,there isn’t. Don’t know who added that because it wasn’t me.
Rainbow Promenade was never a Kerasotes. It opened as a UA in the ‘80s. Regal/UA sold it to AMC.
One more question:in 1980,was the five screen building new or had it been previously occupied and then converted into a theatre?
