Correction: Century 21 opened on November 21st, 1967 not September 21st, and Century 22 opening in 1969 not 1968 (same date). sorry for the mistake.

Century 23 opened on August 1st, 1973 and Century 24 and 25 opened on October 18th, 1974. The listings changed to Century Complex 5 in 1977 and the 6th screen opened in 1978.
